Imagine: You’re 19 years old, you get thrown into the biggest, craziest travelling circus in the world. You become an instant celebrity (yes, you were succesful in F2 but F1 is a different beast altogether in terms of fame and fandom) and the pressure is on every race weekend. Everyone wants something from you: an interview, a selfie, a chat, an autograph. It’s gotta be all too easy to lose yourself in a situation like that. But he remains professional, calm, courteous, considerate, funny, friendly and focussed. And he delivers, for his team! Major kudos to Lando. And his parents! He must have been brought up well.
JT Still... nothing can prepare a person for what’s happened this year. F2 and F1 are completely different beasts when it comes to fame and fandom. My point was that I admire his levelheadednes. And well... Max. I am Dutch and I root for him but I won’t exactly describe him as ‘calm’.... 😂 In spite of all the gaming he does too!!
JT Fame in F2 is different than fame in F1 though. I was at an event with both Max and Nyck de Vries attending once. Everyone wanted everything from Max and Nyck was just there.... (we talked to him for a bit, he seems like a nice guy). You are right about the anxiety. The fact that Lando deals with everything the way he does shows a maturity far beyond most 19-year olds I have met.
Hey McLaren, I remember a deaf fan posted a bit ago about getting subtitles on these videos as they can't hear what's going on. Is that a possibility? Just wish everyone could enjoy this as much as I do. Cheers.
ma5on 1984. I know, I meant that the subtitles are only in English and I suggested to McLaren that they could also be in Spanish and Italian ... Thanks anyway!
Unboxed is the revelation of the season! Edited to perfection to provide the ultimate insight into every race weekend, for me it is indispensable and has become something I look forward to absorbing so much. I keep going on Unboxed binge sessions rewatching them over and over! I love everything that is happening at McLaren this year, the team dynamic is magical, Lando & Carlos are the ultimate dream team! Congratulations my friends, this is such a special year.
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate and thank Henrik Ringner for the amazing work he does to make these videos and give us all a better look into this normally very distant f1 world!!
The most intriguing thing about these videos is how well they manage to capture the electricity of a race weekend. I’m getting goosebumps and I’m watching through a screen.
These are literally the best videos on RU-vid! Great weekend for you guys. Carlos I'm sorry you got taken out at the start but you drove brilliantly. Lando well done on best of the rest you little meme lord you
For me Carlos and Lando are such a nice Duo! I really enjoy watching them on and off the track. Espacially the "McLaren Unboxed" Videos are so nice produced und fun to watch! Greetings from a german McLaren Fan !
Lando is a future champ! He's got everything for that. I just hope that you guys will continue to develop the car the same way and will return to the top! You deserve that and he also needs a chance to fight among the best ones!
Yes we love mclaren unboxed. Thanks to the amazing people that are running this channel and constantly making such fun vids like this. Continue making more🧡🧡👍🏼
So well captured, that you almost find yourself taking part in the whirlpool of events, situations, feelings before a race. Kudos to them for handling everything so well !!!
This was filmed so well, It's great seeing the whole team at work, so many men & women just to put two cars on the track and so the drivers can focus and do their job.
Haha......... I hate the impossible, seeing Lando growing up eventually. Really growing up! Although I think he has a strong head on his shoulders. As a long time race fan, I felt bored and started this season watching with lots of prejudice. And then there was my old favourite team back with Carlos and Lando. Plus McLaren uses social media so very well. The joy is back, in full force. Please don't change too much guys! Though I know change is inevitable......
i was quite skeptical when Fernando left, but Lando and Carlos are incredible guys, breath of fresh air, exactly what McLaren needed. Guys, keep up good work and bring McLaren back on top where it belongs!
Absolutely digging this content! I think that by creating those videos, you are improving so much on your brand awareness! The 720S is already my ultimate dreamcar, but will Lando beat Max when it comes to personal hero's, he is without any doubt going into the wright direction!
watching this makes me miss the days of Dani Ric and Max ........ Its fun to see your drivers having fun and banter. it balances all the sour seriousness that is needed i guess.
