Like probably most people I am very happy for Lando, it is a good story and he seems like a genuine guy, not a machine nor ever pretending to be one. Refreshing.

I have to say though, I am becoming a Max fan... I really disliked the guy when he came in, the crashing, the attitude (the Jos training I guess), but he grew up and IMO he is turning into quite a likable person... He seems genuine also and speaks his mind. When he says one more WC will not change his life you kinda believe him, the first one was crucial to him but since then he's been more chill. I liked the way he tried to cheer up GP (his engineer) on the radio, what he said to the team, his sincere demeanor after in the cool room, and the fact that he carried that donkey of a car for half a season and almost won it all anyway - what a talent ! You also see how the guy behaves with Kvyat's daughter, he always is super sweet with her even when she interrupts a Sim race or whatever... And races GT cars, sims, anything, like a Jim clark or yore... Honestly I always disliked Horner/Marko and early Max, but at this point with the Musketeer Mekies and the current Max I am becoming a fan of Redbull (hope Hadjar does OK). Well done to them, great comeback with only one driver, no "games" played in the finale, good for them !
