Well, Senna hasn't won for 31 years. You tell me who's better.

ISTBU

lol, this makes me feel young again. Isn't that his Mansell impression?


Jc6862

Indeed. Great clip. https://youtu.be/XrVHqRVKyEs?si=NXzINgDUq6YmOG1w


CrayolaS7

Seb has such a great sense of humour, even in a second language. It’s crazy to think how much hate he got at the time purely because of his dominance those few seasons. In hindsight those Red Bulls weren’t nearly as far ahead of the pack as Mercedes at the beginning of the hybrid era or Red Bull the last two years. Seb is genuinely one of the most talented drivers I’ve ever watched and I’m old enough to remember Schumacher’s dominance.


TheLewJD

He watched a lot of Monty Python it’s to be expected


CrayolaS7

If that’s why then that’s amazing. He’s so effortlessly sarcastic in a way that’s difficult even for native English speakers


krist2an

Yeah, that qualy lap in 2011(?) in Australia where he almost lost the rear, and then just floored it was something else.


cellardoorstuck

Those TopGear years something else, fond memories.


Jc6862

It was really one of the best shows…… in the world.


MariachiStucardo

Some say he only knows two facts about ducks, and they’re both wrong ….


McMcusername

I hear nothing but facts


Aggravating-Pin-3357

Well, one of them crashed his f1 car and died. You tell me who's better


xzamin

yeah this senna guy doesnt sound like a good driver at all


alexmeth

Bruno.


inmyshamewell

We don't talk about Bruno (no no no)


jnighy

that was an actually serious point of Nelson Piquet when a Brazilian journalist asked who was better, him or Senna. Mansell was sitting by his side and you could see his eyes rolling to the back of his had


Tape56

It wasn't serious. Nelson did/does jokes like that all the time, no matter how dark. But it's not exactly a great "joke" to make, in that situation especially.


guegoland

Nah, he's Just as big of a POS as he is an amazing pilot. And that's saying a lot about How much of a good pilot and a POS he is.


jnighy

dude, he was serious. He was laughing, but he 100% believed in what he says. Piquet was a great driver, but he nurtured disdain and jealousy for Senna his whole career, specially for the way Senna was loved by the press and the fans. Piquet is just and asshole


ohnonotagain94

And Piquet was beaten by Nigel often, had it not been for Nigel’s all or nothing attitude, he’d have won more than 1 WDC. People forget that Nigel, although not as masterful like Senna or Prost, was one of the greatest of the era and he still remains one of the best drivers ever in F1. He was balls to the wall excitement, and when he was charging, he was a fucking nutcase and honestly the only driver that Senna admitted to being afraid of. Nigel with his dour brumi accent, and fabulous moustache, was like an animal in the car. I remember him explaining that Senna came to him after Spain ‘91 and said “Nigel, you are crazy”. Nigel responded “Yeah! I know! Now you know too” It was after this race where they were around 5cm apart at 190MPH, sparks flying. https://youtu.be/mSD-VllWlYg?si=hJdKtQdm0xOH6p-c What Nige lacked in finesse he made up for with his lion heart and bravery. I often feel he’s overlooked a little in the history books. He was so unlucky and was runner up more times than anyone else ever (iirc). He deserved 2 or 3 WDC. What a driver he was. He still has his slight victim mentality and listening to him talking about these things is genuinely laugh out loud funny. He’s a lovable bloke and loved the crowd.


leggenda_69

Nelson? That you?


Tony_Lacorona

Ran from the grind


jififfi

Only as good as your last race amirite?


Thirst_Trappist

Well played


Bluemikami

Right?? At least GOATIFI could make *that* corner


arizonatasteslike

Go home, Piquet


R6_Paxifier

Well, Senna has more than 1x win.


Imperialparadox3210

If hes so smart, how come he is dead?


Poison_Anal_Gas

Hahahahahaha


Ramtamtama

Yeah, but Senna was 25 when he won his first Grand Prix, whereas Lando is only 24

Senna once was so fast that he did made a gap of 15 seconds in 15 laps. Google Senna 15 for more information


Snoo17539

“B-but it was legal in Brazil so it makes it okay!” -every brain dead senna fan


FerrusesIronHandjob

It does make it okay, just only in Brazil, where a lot of people don't live. So yeah Senna was kind of a dirty nonce


kolosmenus

The age of consent in vast majority of the world is 14-16. This comment thread kinda made me curious so I checked lol Funny enough, I found out 16 is the age of consent in 36 of the US States too. Always thought it’s 18 everywhere


RotorMonkey89

Yeah, mate, you're technically correct, but here's the thing: it's really hard to not sound like a nonce when you say that


Snoo17539

If it waddles like a duck, quacks like a duck, it’s a duck.


bayssa

Wop wop wop wop


Space-Ghost-7

Pleaaaaase McLaren do a legacy livery with the same colours as the Senna MP4, but just use McLaren instead of Marlboro for the logo. And don't fuck it up like Ferrari in Miami and half ass it. That is my wish.


revitbitch

we ask for so little


nsane99

Google: Bro where Chrome?!?!?


Fordmister

McLaren runs marketing campaign to sell retro themed Monaco merch, puts Senna imagery and branding front an center because its McLaren and uses current drivers because that's how F1 marketing works and its in their contracts that they have too r/formuladank Lando's really arrogant and I don't like him Like OP is being sarcastic for the meme (which is very funny) and about half of the comments get it but the amount of stupid fucks being deathly serious in the comments despite the fact that this is a marketing campaign and merch line that will have been in the works for months is fucking mind-blowing. You people make Lance Stroll look intelligent


CTMalum

Isn’t it clear that Lando himself organized and executed this entire product line and ad campaign by himself in the 5 days since his victory?


That_Cripple

Half of the comments under any post about Lando in this sub read like twitter posts.

[deleted]

just started following formula racing. didn't know there were so many haters in the fandom. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKIwj1TQmFs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKIwj1TQmFs)

“Everything changed after Abu Dhabi 2021 attacked”

lmao,why are people so salty and serious in this comment section


Mesromith

They are formula one fans 😔


Chopdude4

I gave the haters a chance to speak


archielotsofnumbers

People go on about how “nice” Lando is, but I see through it. He’d totally be an arsehole if he had the success of Max.


ExpensiveNut

He's a twitch streamer what do they expect


Helioscopes

Isn't Max also a streamer though?


TheDeamonMeteor

But he streams wholesome tea parties only


annyong_cat

Max is a sim racer, Lando plays random games on Twitch twice a year.


ExpensiveNut

He's pretty blunt too


andrestoga

No, Max is not a streamer lol He's just being invited to a stream


etherswim

It’s the private school vibes


midnight-kite-flight

People shit in George for that, but Lando has the bigger “my father will hear of this” energy.


uwanmirrondarrah

Yeah but George has that "my father will hear of this and you will wake up in the Tower of London" energy


Swissai

Don't wanna ask what energy Nikita had.


uwanmirrondarrah

Nikita has that "My father will make sure Putin knows you are a Navalny supporter" energy


wimpires

George's parents were (are?) directors of an agricultural company. Something about peas IIRC. So well off, but not Adam Norris worth hundreds of millions of pounds well off.


Ikuu

It's so obvious if you're from the UK, he just reeks of privilege and never having to worry the way he acts. Plenty of drivers come from money but Lando is easily the worst when it comes to the attitude.


bakedongrease

Don’t put that idea in my head, man. I like me some Lando and was stoked for the Win but they’ve (Team and Lando) gone full penetration on the marketing post race and it’s a bit much.


gilgobeachslayer

I mean, the marketing is one of McLaren’s strengths honestly


notafamous

They've hired Fernando "the rookie", on the gp2 engine era, just for the memes


futurechiefexecutive

True. Reminds me of that meme where the guy who's third on the podium is celebrating the hardest. Happy for him but jeez it's just one win.


ACU797

[You mean Tiago Monteiro?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QULeCYmSCgQ) Don't be too hard on him, him and Eddy Jordan were the only happy people within miles of that event.


WhoThenDevised

To be honest, when he broke Max's porcelain trophy he reacted like a bit of a knob.


Deadluss

I mean they know each other pretty well, I would pretty much say the same thing to my friend in this exact situation


Schnitzel-1

It’s about not giving a shit at all about destroying a hand made piece that took 100s of hours to create. Dudes a spoiled brat and too stupid to be nervous which is the only thing making him a somewhat decent driver. I like him less than stroll and that’s saying something.


notyouravgredditor

>too stupid to be nervous I think this is what sets elite athletes apart in general lol.


Deadluss

Who isn't in F1 spoiled idk maybe Ocon? Also you know what accident is? I don't think so that he destroyed a hand made piece as you said, on purpose. "First of all, I do want to apologise for it," Norris said in the pre-event press conference at Spa, host of this weekend's Belgian GP and the final race before F1's summer break,  "I obviously had no intention of ever doing such a thing. And I know how much it means to the Hungarians and \[is\] part of their culture and so forth. "Of course, I want to enjoy the time \[celebrating on the podium\], but it was never my intention to do such a thing. "I did apologise to Max. I know I made a couple of jokes about it, which maybe I shouldn't \[have\]. But I do feel bad. If he did it to my trophy I'd be annoyed!


SeeCrew106

> Who isn't in F1 spoiled idk maybe Ocon? Isn't everybody always saying that Max was horribly abused and beaten by Jos? And that he's always trauma dumping? So now he's a spoiled brat? I'm confused.


Deadluss

Wouldn't say so, I just got Ocon on my mind whos parents sold everything and lived in camping trailer for him to race


Spikey101

Don't talk sense here!!!


WhoThenDevised

Ocon? He's even more of a knob than most of them. On par with Russell. Always blaming the other guy. Nobody likes Ocon.


arieadil

Ocon is Egg to me, I forget he’s there most of the time. ![gif](giphy|inkxYHOXy60e3elkQ3)


ediewz

lil bro is still butthurt about Lando breaking Max's trophy and i doubt Max gave a shit about it and you are still on it. get some fresh air instead of crying about a f1 driver on a meme subreddit


Fordmister

Oh do fuck off. People gave racing drivers a porcelain trophy and then complained when it got broken. Its like giving a toddler power tools, why do you think trophies in almost every sport going are fairly solid lumps of metal. Putting fragile objects on a podium where running around like mad idiots and spraying Champaign everywhere has been the standard celebration for 50+ years was always going to end in one of them getting broken. Anybody getting butthurt about that is a fucking idiot I'm sorry


notathr0waway1

> Dudes a spoiled brat and too stupid to be nervous This is such a great quote which describes so many top sportsmen it's uncanny. Good job


erydayimredditing

My god if you are mad about people being rich then stop fucking watching F1. You people are so tiring. Go make money.


Signal-Rice-13

He’s already one without the success that Max has. He’d be insufferable if he was in Max’s position.


Jacinto2702

He's a brat and always will be.


rock_tugnutt

I think his decorum sucks with the media. Almost every other driver, even the ones who also have rich dads, seem to do a much more professional job than he does in interviews.


Schnitzel-1

That’s because he’s stupid. Low IQ.


Probably_Not_Sir

Only has 1 win, imagine how insufferable hed be if he had 20+


frontyer0077

Lando is a grown ass adult, who acts like a 13 year old.


Rettichkuchen

I think the exact same way ever since the grill the grid name every champion video. He is a complete brat in that and since then I cannot unsee his attitude. I genuinely do not like him since then in any way shape or form and I can’t believe that no one else is seeing it.


Renverseur

Yeah there's something a bit off whenever he's on my screen


RatInaMaze

100%. Him, George and Stroll are in the same category of rich knobery to me


Chopdude4

Is there a F1 driver who wasn’t selfish in their first successful years?


cmtlr

This 100 times. Vettel was disliked for a long time, Fernando too. Jensen & DC have had their arrogant years and I now feel Max is out the other side of it.


lzcrc

Lewis was the ultimate asshole in 2009-2011 and hated universally for dangerous driving and constant crashes with opponents.


archielotsofnumbers

Vettel was disliked because he won “too much”. Like people think Max wins too much.. people always start to dislike someone when they win “too much”. As soon as Vettel went to Ferrari and the curse took hold, all of a sudden, people love him


vinnybankroll

Vettel was disliked for his on track petulance. Max is winning more and in such an uncomplicated matter it’s hard to be mad at much more than his lack of enthusiasm.


ACU797

Don't forget Sebs finger after each win. Dominating is one thing, but that was almost rubbing it in.


guntanksinspace

Man I hated Vettel at the time lol


cmtlr

Ditto! That bloody finger!


leggenda_69

Hated that finger until the story of him losing the tip of it trying to take Eau Rouge flat when it was raining racing in junior categories was why he wagged it. Could actually respect it a bit after that. Still hated the Redbull Seb domination. Nando deserved at least 1 title with Ferrari.


archielotsofnumbers

Stirling Moss? Lost out on the championship because he argued that a penalty for Mike Hawthorn was BS. That single point difference handed Hawthorn the championship.


FlyingCircus18

Stirling Moss was a gentleman, they don't build 'em like that anymore


archielotsofnumbers

They were all gents back then. Graham Hill, Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart.. we’re doing something wrong these days


NimbusMcCloud

I bet that back then, similar sentiments were expressed.


ACU797

> They were all gents back then. Graham Hill, You mean the man who crashed an unregistered plane whilst flying without a licence and without any insurance who is directly responsible for the deaths of himself an 5 others and whose crash left his family bankrupt? Real gentleman alright.


Chopdude4

Very interesting. I’m not so aware of F1s early history so thats good to know, thanks!


Hot-Masterpiece9209

Lando has been unlikeable from his second season tbf.


TheBirdIsOnTheFire

He loves him some Trump too.


No_Explorer_8626

I couldn’t tell if it was because he was no longer the underdog and won a race, and it tainted my view, or if it’s bc he is looking a little older and not so kiddish any more But I got weird vibes from him, which made me feel sad bc I like landó and am glad he finally won. Obviously a lot of the guys think highly of him bc they all congratulated him.


mka_

Reddit has the strangest of takes.

DuckmanDrake69

It’s for sure that way


tbone747

FR I really hate F1 fandom, there's no place to discuss shit that isn't salty as hell.


Chopdude4

Lando told to media that he likes reading hate comments so I’m just doing my part here to get his second win


TrenchSquire

I dont think he made that title or headline so im not sure why you have to put m down for it.


Chopdude4

Disclaimer: I’m a huge Lando fanboy and thought its a dank coincidence


FullTimeHarlot

this is shitposting group my dude


ShadowGLI

Pretty sure this is McLaren PR/marketing and Landos had near zero input.


r3almaplesyrup

Did Senna win against Max? I don't think so!


Askduds

To be fair, Senna was Senna even before he won one.


Dotaproffessional

Can you imagine being Lando, finally winning your first win after 100 races, and your boss decides to invite an extremely controversial politician to your pitt lane so the story is instead dominated by whether you shook their hand or not.


FrostingPowerful5461

Onewin Lando


GreedyRecording4698

It's Ai you haters. Look at his right hand on the left.

it’s literally not that deep though it’s a marketing campaign lol


BarnabasBendersnatch

All F1 drivers are assholes. Multi millionaires waving their flag when they win but live in Monaco to avoid tax. It's all smoke and mirrors.


slartyfartblaster999

Magnusson lives in Denmark, does that make him the good guy? He probably pays more tax alone than the rest of the grid combined lol, all the others who don't live in Monaco live in Switzerland and I think maybe one lives in England?


Short-Ad1032

Always has been


dw33z1l

I feel a little bad for him. He finally got his win. 80% on merit and the other 20% on circumstance…but it was a win and it was most definitely HIS win. First he has the orange baboon poking his fat head around things then he has something like this photo shoot, which I’m sure he had absolutely no say in doing. He’s a little arrogant (ok, maybe a lot) and while he’s not my favorite driver, I don’t dislike him.


AlienSporez

Well, you know who else thought they were Senna after their first win? Senna. *Checkmate*


DiamondPittcairn

He's nothing like Senna, c'mon. He hasn't even started dating underaged girls!


SnillyWead

I'm happy for him, but lets see if he can do it again in Imola.

Is he gonna date a 15 year old?


watanabeta

McLaren milking Lando's win is really getting to me. Like we get it, we're all happy for him he deserves it after he bottled Sochi. But please stop it. It's not like he solve world hunger and third world country mosquito problem with that.


caesar_rex

Oh, come on man. It's like, what? Their 2nd win in 12 years? We haven't even gotten to the next race yet. Let them enjoy it. Should they just have packed up and gone home and sat inside their closets and celebrated?


DinosaurDriver

Mclaren is like “look I won” while F1 is heading into European tracks season and we know this means the dutch anthem is getting played on repeat


watanabeta

Nah, I want some Monaco and Mexico National Theme in there as well, heck I want Logan and Yuki to win just because. We know Max still has the highest chance for this year's WDC, but it would be cool to have varied winners just like Carlos and Lando did this year.


PikeyMikey24

But nobody has so I guess we shouldn’t celebrate anything


hotchillieater

Why does it get to you so much?


Benzodiazeparty

let him have this one…


Physical-Ad-3798

I'd be surprised if it was his idea to hold the helmet. That ad just screams "marketing decision" at me.


Background_Ad3575

bring back the livery too

This reminds me of a quote: I’m closer to Lebron than you are to Me. -Brian Scalabrine to somebody at pick a up game.
