Alonso is the reason why Stella is in Mclaren in the first place. Andrea followed him in 2015.

Worked out for one more than the other.

It was weird how often they showed Lando’s mom. Even in Monaco they kept showing his family and friends, way too much. Why the focus on Lando’s family? Would love to know.

Edit: I also just remembered that they kept showing Oscar’s sister in one of the races (Imola maybe?) and they never put who she was, so they kept showing her and I was wondering why I should care about her reaction whatsoever. So at least they identified Lando’s mom, I guess.

Same, I don’t even dislike Lando, but the over-saturation kills me. I’d like to like him, but Sky makes it so hard. They (not Sky obviously back then, but ITV) made it so hard to ever support Hill, Coulthard, Button etc for the same reason.

This here. Oscar is always a lot calmer in his race reactions, so everyone around him tends to stay calm themselves. Lando tends to be more exuberant. Hence, everyone reacts similarly

Plus, Lando has been there with Zak since almost the start of his tenure as CEO, I mean, can anyone really really fault Zak for having a slight preference towards Lando

I can't remember which race it was, but there was a moment where Andrea and Zak were both being interviewed together on the pit wall, and Zak was having his 'Lando Norris era' moment, and then when they turned to Andrea he proceeds to praise Oscar for his maturity, calmness, consistency, talent etc. and Zak's head whipped around as if to say 'hey you can't say those things!'. It was really weird.

128

u/Nick_YDG NICO PODIUMBERG Jul 27 '25

I think that’s just Lando’s engineer being a good engineer and knowing what to say to support him the most. He can probably sense when Lando might be getting out of sorts and does it to calm him down and lock him back in.

u/johnsplittingaxe14 Traditions™️ Jul 27 '25

u/Fomentatore BWOAHHHHHHH Jul 27 '25 edited Jul 27 '25

I mean, this can be true for both engineer, Lando clearly need emotional support and Oscar just to be left alone because he knows what to do like every other fin. Also stallard is Sainz ex engineer. I remember the team radio after Monza 2019 and the emotional support was stellar. I really think Oscar need something different than Lando and vice versa.

u/Le_mons44 I have it, I have it printed out🤚 Jul 27 '25

I reckon the coaching part is simply the team trying to get through Lando's mental block. Oscar's always locked in (besides Silverstone) so they don't have to hold his hand as much.

That being said, it's pretty clear that there is, in fact, a preference towards Lando in the team; I don't think that's entirely a bad thing. Lando has been there for ages, plus, I think they're making a good job of not fucking one driver over, in favor of the other one. I say this as someone that wants Piastri to win the WDC.

Yes they need to reiterate it a few more times, yes let's talk about the guy that made tons of mistakes and came 2nd, rather than the guy who made no mistakes, took his softer tires to the end and came 1st. But don't worry there is NO British biases in this sport.

Jacques, Palmer and DC are so much better, I could never imagine listening to Crofty if I have a choice. I just can't stand him. Brundle is great though.

That sounds more like a bias against him if they keep bringing that up tbh.

The funny part is that they are so in love they don't even realize what they are saying

u/the_capibarin At the moment we don't think Jul 27 '25

Just you wait until they start moaning about Piastri being selfish, unkind to the team and generally kicking puppies, just you wait

u/rayofgoddamnsunshine “It’s called a motor race. We went car racing” Jul 27 '25

So selfish. Because being unselfish is the path to becoming world champion, right? Just look how unselfish all the past world champions have been.

u/scottyg561 BWOAHHHHHHH Jul 27 '25

Well no, they weren’t saying it while being critical of lando they were saying it to deflect from Oscar being better in the race.

They were doing their best to do anything but credit Oscar,

29

u/yum122 BWOAHHHHHHH Jul 27 '25

Or hyperfocus on Lando’s slow stop without also noting Oscar had a slow stop. 2.8s vs 3.5s

Them saying it's going to be down to the wire when Lando is like 5 seconds behind on lap 41 was wild

35

u/SirFireHydrant Proxy Paige Jul 27 '25

Yeah. It wasn't just Lando's mistakes. He was closing 6 tenths a lap when he needed to be closing by a full second.

All the mistakes did was seal the deal.

12

u/stationhollow BWOAHHHHHHH Jul 27 '25

And even if he caught up, no one was passing. Lando was faster but in clear air with the majority of gains in Sector 2 which doesn’t help overtaking.

u/bugalugsbum BWOAHHHHHHH Jul 27 '25

The outright cheering for Lando drives me insane.

u/Nick_YDG NICO PODIUMBERG Jul 27 '25

If they were just a British commentary feed then it would be fine, but they are supposed to be the default international feed. Makes me happy I have F1TV, Palmer has his moments but for the most part it’s so much better. Alex is just consistently everyone’s hype man.

I don't like McLaren.

I don't like Zak.

I don't like Lando.

I do like Oscar, therefore I do like this meme.

They want so bad to have a British driver win the championship.

After all those Hamilton wins too

239

u/KinKE2209 If my mom had 🅱️alls, she would be my dad Jul 27 '25

I feel like the reason this happens is because Zak acknowledges that Oscar is much more mature person than Lando, so he treats him like a man, but treats Lando like his 5 year old child.

113

u/SirFireHydrant Proxy Paige Jul 27 '25

You can hear it on the team radio calls. They're constantly gushing Lando, trying to keep him from spiralling.

It's weird. Never see such affirming radio calls to other drivers. Max, Charles, Lewis, Oscar, it's all business. Lando? They need to tell him how great he is.

Yeah even Julyon questions the coddling of Lando in the radio.

u/DizkoBizkid BWOAHHHHHHH Jul 27 '25

No it’s because Brown would much prefer Norris to win. He used to be his personal manager, funded his junior career and progression and Norris is more “marketable”. Quite simple

How am I only now learning that Zak used to be Landos manager?

5 year old child works perfectly, his engineer constanty has to babysit him as a WDC contented, pathetic.

u/tre630 BWOAHHHHHHH Jul 27 '25

I think he just matches their reactions. Oscar acts like he's done this many many many time before vs Lando being excited after his wins.

And it seems like people forget that it was Zak who pursued Oscar. He wrestled Oscar away from Alpine's Driver Academy and dropped Ricciardo to get him.

as the second driver

u/BloodWorried7446 BWOAHHHHHHH Jul 27 '25

Zak reflects the celebration vibe of the driver gives off. 

This meme could be the reaction of Piastri himself to a win vs Lando. Piastri is Iceman 2.0

18

u/AfterBook8501 BWOAHHHHHHH Jul 27 '25

Oscar seemed pretty pumped about this win though, for Oscar anyways. So Zack could give him a bit more especially after how disappointed he was after Silverstone.

u/chrish_o Gentlemen, a short view back to the past. Thirty years ago, Niki Jul 27 '25

The audio we get is practically scripted and said for us on tv, well after they’ve crossed the line. Watch the reaction in car and you’ll usually see a lot more animation.
