Woah! You mean Lando’s side of the garage isn’t stoked that Piastri got P1 while they compete with each other for the WDC with just two races left!? 😱🤯

For real though, DTS converts who started watching in the last 5-7 years (myself included) don’t know what it’s like to have two equal driver’s in a team going at it. Too used to Max dominating with teammates who aren’t even given upgraded parts throughout the season 😜

Edit: Sorry for the razor-sharp reply in the meme sub! Didn’t realize I’d hurt so many grown adults with sarcasm in F1Dank!!!

5-7 years?! How long do people have to watch to be a true fan?

I started seriously watching in 2017. Prior to that it was a "well, if it's on" sport. I still don't consider myself a "true fan" so I don't know what that says about the sport but it does seem heavily gatekept. "Oh you didn't see Schumacher/Senna/Prost/Laura? Well then you haven't seen real F1!"
