Lando's track interview after the Chinese GP:
Transcript:
Interviewer: Lando, what an awesome drive that was there. You got driver of the day. Well deserved.
Lando: Thank You.
Interviewer: How did it feel out there?
Lando: Good! Yeah. Surprised, I’m very happy. Very happy for the whole team. They deserved it. Good pit stops. Just today worked out. I don’t know why. I really wasn’t expecting it to be the kind of race we had today but got comfortable, could manage the tyres a lot, which was an easier task that what I had yesterday. And I could just push. The car felt great and I felt comfortable. So, good day, good points and another podium, so I’m very happy.
Interviewer: The race pace was looking, I mean, strong at times. You were even quicker than the second Red Bull of Sergio. Are you surprised by that? It’s really cool to see.
Lando: I was surprised by many things. The lack of pace from Ferrari today. Our good pace and, I guess, us comparing to the Red Bull, which was so surprising. I just wasn’t expecting today at all. I got everything ready to go home early and not be on the podium. So it’s a pleasant surprise but it shows the team have done a good job. We’re working hard and it’s paying off.
Interviewer: Pre-race you were thinking the Ferraris were going to be all over your mirrors but that didn’t materialise?
Lando: I made a bet how far behind the Ferrari we would finish today. I thought 35 seconds, and I was very wrong with that. So yeah, happy to be wrong with myself, my own bets, but a good day for everyone.
(I'm very sorry for posting this late. I'm really busy at the moment, so I'll do my best to get Lando's post-Chinese GP interviews posted as soon as I can 🧡)

(From McLaren on IG)
Watching him holding the trophy on the podium made me wonder how long it would be before he put it around his neck. I'm pleased to see he didn't disappoint 🫶🏻

🏁 Lando finished P2 in the Chinese GP:
⏱️ Time: 1:41:6.327
P2 👏🏻 An absolutely incredible drive from Lando today which saw him take his second podium and first P2 of this season.
Lando did so well today, even leading the race for a time and doing well to hold the Ferraris and Pérez off to finish in second. Plus he very deservedly got Driver of the Day too~
Hopefully Lando will be able to have another great race in Miami 🧡

🏁 Lando finished P6 in the Sprint in Shanghai:
⏱️ Time: 32:26.748
Sadly, despite starting from Pole, Lando finished P6 in the Sprint race. Though it's sad to see, there wasn't much more Lando could do given the circumstances, so he did well to finish where he did. Hopefully things will be better for him in the Grand Prix itself 🧡

🏁 Lando got Pole in the Sprint Qualifying for the Chinese GP:
⏱️ Time: 1:57.940
What a lap from Lando! 🔥 It was an insane Sprint Qualifying session, with the rain making conditions tricky, and that was complicated further by Lando having his original time set deleted due to track limits. He then set this time, which provisionally put him on Pole, before this time was also deleted due to track limits, which put him in P8. Fortunately though, the stewards reinstated his time, putting Lando on Pole for tomorrow's Sprint.
I'm so happy and so proud of him. Hopefully he'll have a great time in the Sprint tomorrow. Let's go, Lando 🧡

🏁 Lando finished P16 in FP1 in Shanghai
⏱️ Time: 1:38.630 (+2.328s behind Stroll in P1)
A pretty decent start for Lando in Shanghai, finishing in a position which doesn't quite reveal how well Lando did in that session. He had two Purple Sectors, but purposefully didn't maintain at that same level. So still a really solid session for Lando, and definitely bodes well for the rest of the weekend 🧡

🎤 Lando at the Drivers' Press Conference before the Chinese GP:
(The video is from F1Fever on YouTube)
Transcript:
Interviewer: And Lando, what about your expectations coming into the weekend?
Lando: Probably not as high as Suzuka. I think that's our opinion. But still in a good position. I think we've been happy with how the season started. I think we're in a good qualifying battle with Aston, Mercedes, it’s very close and even last weekend ahead of Ferrari, but I think the order is still clear.
And I think in the racing we've done a good job. Not as good as Red Bull but and Ferrari, but I'm a head of Aston and Mercedes. So I think we're in a good spot. This wasn't a great circuit for us in 2019 but many things have changed since then. So I'm so optimistic we can have a good weekend.
Interviewer: What is it about this layout that gives you less confidence?
Lando: The long corners. Just, like, Turn 1. Yeah, this type of corner is just not good for us. Similar to, say, Zandvoort, that kind of experience for us. So yeah, we've got some things to try. And we're constantly trying to improve these areas. But it's an area we know is one of our biggest weaknesses, and maybe we kind of get away with it in qualifying but especially into the race becomes a bigger problem for us.
Interviewer: There were some race day frustrations for you in Japan, but afterwards, your boss Andrea Stella, said that the team can win this year. How quickly do you think you can do that?
Lando: Not anytime soon, that's for sure. I think we can. Right place, right time, if we improve the car how we need to. Honestly, there weren't too many frustrations with Suzuka. I think everything went pretty much as expected. I don't think we did a perfect job and I think we probably should have finished one place higher up, potentially. But I don't think it was far off. We've been the same place all season. We've been behind Red Bull, we've been behind Ferrari and we've been a bit of a step ahead of the other two teams come the race. And that's exactly how last weekend went.
So I don't think there's too many frustrations. But we know the issues, we know what we have to improve. And if we can improve them. I think Andrea is right. I think we can win races this year. And we can be competitive with these other two teams ahead of us. But that's an if. And you know, we have to work hard to improve the car in some of these certain areas, which have been a big challenge for us over the last many years, not just for years, but last many years. But if we can, then I'm confident we can have some good races.
Journalist Questions:
Q1 (Ian Parkes – New York Times):. I don't know if any of you drivers have had an opportunity to inspect the track as yet. But Charles mentioned it earlier, and a couple of other drivers have mentioned it in their media sessions earlier today, that the track has been painted. What does that means pecifically? Do you know? Does it cause any concerns? What issues are you expecting from such a track?
Lando: I have no idea. So I think we have to wait and see honestly, I think that's something new, something we don't think we've seen before, so hard to predict exactly what's going to happen. So I honestly have no idea. So I'll see you tomorrow.
Q2 (Michael Butterworth – Xinhua News Agency) To all the drivers briefly. It's been a while since we've been to the Shanghai circuit. Just keen to hear your thoughts on it. And any particular features that make it especially challenging or memorable for you?
Lando: I always raced here once, but I didn't finish the race. So not the best memories. But yeah, it was still in my first season. So everything was new back then. But it's always been a cool track to drive. Definitely was not my back then. But excited to give it another crack and see what we can do this weekend.
Q3 (Henry Clark – Daily Mail) I was wondering, obviously a lot of tracks that we come to, it's only been a year or so since you've last been here. But for everyone here there has been no race for at least five years. I was wondering what are the unique challenges that brings? Does that make this weekend particularly exciting? Or are there extra worries that come with that?
Lando: I guess just excited. Always excited for every weekend, but especially when you haven't been to a place for a while. For me, I didn't get a proper experience of it back in 2019. So things have changed. I'm a very different driver to what I was back then.
So I'm excited to see what it brings and how the whole weekend pans out I think anyway being a Sprint race and having two opportunities to try and nail the set-up for the first quali and then the set-up for the second quali. I think also there is plenty of opportunity. So I don't think it’s not going to be exciting for anyone. I think there's a lot of opportunities on the table, there's a lot of things that can go wrong at the same time, so excited for all of it.
Q4 (Henry Clark – Daily Mail) With all due respect to some of the more senior drivers, a question to a couple of the younger guys on the panel. When you see Fernando committing his future to racing well into his 40s, how impressive is that dedication? How much does it take to keep doing that? And also, do you see yourselves wanting to race for as long as that in your own careers?
Lando: I’d better be careful what I say. I think it takes a lot of dedication. I don't think anyone thinks Fernando lacks that in any way. I think he shows that with everything that he does in life. Whether it's at the track or away from the track, you know, in different sports or whatever. So it depends what you want to do. Everyone is different.
It's rare that you see someone commit for so long in any sport, you know, he's probably one of the oldest guys competing at the top of any sport in the world and I think to be able to do that at the level that he has done and continues to do, you're probably never going to potentially see it again, you know within Formula 1 and if you do, it's going be extremely rare.
So yeah, I think a lot of respect for that kind of thing. I have no idea if I want to do it in 20 years’ time, if I'm still going strong, but I love where I am now and I continue to do such a thing. Yeah, we'll see.
