#no but seriously early lewis was so annoying (affectionate) and it's a core part of his personality to indulge that in Lando

[formulatrash]

Lewis likes Lando BECAUSE he's an annoying bitch who can't shut up. Lewis was an annoying bitch who couldn't shut up when he was first in F1 (and tbf, will take an opportunity to do it even now) that's why he projects onto Lando. if Lando WASN'T being an annoying bitch who couldn't shut up he'd just be George.

#i could write several essays on this topic #no but seriously early lewis was so annoying (affectionate) and it's a core part of his personality to indulge that in Lando #who clearly massively respects and fanboys him #i also think lewis likes lando immensely because he is fundamentally kind and desperately tries to do the right thing #and he is mclaren's beloved flower but that's more complicated #because mclaren never loved lewis like that unfortunately #but MOSTLY it's because he's an annoying bitch who can't shut the fuck up and gets in trouble for breathing
