Yeah absolutely, I was being a bit facetious to be fair. You're right about the pressure though, although I would argue there's a lot more pressure on Norris, maybe from himself but it's still there; he's been in this team way longer, and he's been there when they were painfully slow too.
Now they're the fastest package on the grid, but Norris is throwing away results through desperate mistakes, and Piastri is no slouch. That would be enough to get inside my head, for sure!
My general impression is that Lando is his own worst enemy. His own head is fucking with him way too often. I believe he acknowledges this rather openly.
Conversely, Piastri seems to have the polar opposite characteristics. Heβs almost eerily calm, controlled and collected and it makes him look utterly inflappable.
While Piastri sure experiences comparable pressure at this stage, in contrast to Lando he does not show it and hence doesnβt allow the media spectacle to zero in on him to question his coping skills.
Yeah totally agree with you mate -- a bit of self deprecating humour is fine and probably even healthy but Lando is always putting himself down in interviews and it can be a little hard to watch! Especially when compared to Piastri.
