something about nico's “ lewis lap for me, was the lap of a seven time world champion....” and “ that's a great result from lewis and mercedes...they were really struggling out there..and he uh, he did a magical lap there..which is typical of lewis in those conditions as well...” does it for me today.
also, i’d like to add that if we think about it, all drivers may have said or done some questionable shit post race, due to adrenaline or to frustration, but we dont question it or we just let it slide (specially in a driver’s prime) because well, it’s probably our favorite driver =/
post-race Yuki Tsunoda was so calm in his interviews commenting on Magnussen ramming his car unnecessarily and getting thrown out of the race, it’s so sad that now he has to intentionally be overly calm and controlled even when he has every right to be mad because everyone calls him “the immature aggressive one”
I was just thinking about it because after the race Daniel Ricciardo was visibly offended and cussing about Lance crashing into him. Daniel of course had every right to be mad, but it’s just so sad that no one, Daniel included, affords Yuki the same grace to have emotional responses like a human being because of the projected Model Minority Myth they put on Yuki.
best part of today has to be everyone who's never listened to Nico Rosberg commentate before slowly realise in real time that he really is that unhinged, really couldn't give less of a fuck, knows an incredible amount of wheel, and has still to get over Lewis Hamilton
