eta: but also i do hope he gets more votes this year... i will never forget his singular third-place vote from 2023 and he's always had underrated defensive foundations but he truly has upped his game so much since last year T__T it's kind of funny/sad that becoming an even more well-rounded player has affected his overall stock model-wise because of the weighting bias of his offensive metrics when he's still far and away the best player on this team
okay i'm over it good night...... i am making peace with distant wcc p3 for now and will notch up the doomerism later based on aero efficiency gains post-europe upgrades and subsequently lando's level of reactive optimism/pessimism. though it IS hilarious that people ever thought we'd challenge rb for wins pre-season when the car's concept has always been fundamentally flawed and cannot be adapted significantly until next yr....... like we simply need 2 be serious here!!! i just want to make gains on frr lol
