from the start of the season, lando was struggling with the car and now with his teammate, oscar, performing well he was starting to stress and his mental health was worsening.

you tried your hardest to support him, being going to races or doing things he enjoyed. for example, last weekend you two went to portugal so he could play golf with his mates.

imola. qualifying wasn't bad, p4. but he teammate got pole. again. he was annoyed things were going downhill again and you knew his stress levels were through the roof again. he always spoke openly about his mental health online but he tended to bottle it up and not truly speak his feelings in depth.

while he was in the media pen, you went to his drivers room and waited. after 10 or so minutes, in he came. his race suit pushed around his waist with his black fireproofs on display, his curls messy and sweaty. he was obviously upset and annoyed.
