McLaren's marketing person is going to legitimately go crazy next year with Lando and Danny Ric. Nothing will go as they plan at all but everyone will love it.

[ashthatoneguy]

Its actaully smart using the bloopers as an ad rather than an actual ad, I've been stuck to watching the whole thing and I'm intrested

[wellergames]

Lando: Can't remember the lines...

Hulk:...

[nivedlaxsea]

McLaren: Here’s this world class piece of engineering worth hundreds of thousands of dollars
Lando: ah reminds me of my old go karts

[FezzFox]

Finally McLaren are using Lando's marketability

[ethompson]

You can tell Lando drives F1 more than regular cars the way he lifts himself up before getting out. lol

[Moxtrox]

No one:
McLaren: Let's release the behind the scenes footage instead of the ad.

[kroper]

Lando: *exist
That marketing guy's salary: *stonks*

[IndraTheDon]

Gets to drive million-dollar car.
Lando: feels like a Go-kart.

I'm glad McLaren is understanding how marketing today works and how to maximise Lando. He is upstanding and will try his best, but never be surprised when he goest off track because at the end of the day he will always aim to finish.

Räikkönen promoting Alfa Romeo:

Leave me alone I know what I'm doing

I love how honest they are about the serious image they want to Lando is not their usual company profile. Gotta love McLaren hahaha

[timpw]

Lando will bring loads of people from new generations to the sport and motorsport as a whole with fun things like these and stuff like his livestreams, he's a new generation of relatable racingdrivers.

Loved it.

"I'm staying out until I run out of fuel!" Attaboy, Lando!

McLaren: Instead of a windscreen, the McLaren Elva has a pioneering active air management system which channels air over the cockpit using an automatically deployable carbon fiber deflector in the bonnet.

Lando: “it’s Bwoken”

[GlyntTheCat]

"How did you get on with the lines?"
"Absolutely nailed 'em"

I see what you did there c;

[sixonesix]

Lando is a breath of fresh air in F1. Love the lad.

[lauriedale]

McLaren: we’ve spent millions developing a new roadster with a clever air flow system!
Lando: a f*ck it let’s do some doughnuts

[lando]

Love this guy. Very genuine. Hearing and seeing the car plus Lando's natural reaction was way better than him memorizing a script.
