Congratulations Lando.

Now can the media please stop Belgium-washing him?

He grew up in the UK. He drove in some tourneys in Belgium. He visited his family. And he got his Belgian passport, because it made travel easier for him after Brexit.

That's the extent of his affiliation with Belgium.

  1. Look, with Newey at Aston Martin all I know 100% for sure is that we’ll have 3 “Belgian” F1 driver world champions in a row…

  2. You forgot to mention he ate a curryworst with his uncle in Belgium.

  3. Two half Belgian champs, make one whole now. Move over Jacky Ickx, you’re not our best any more!

  4. Do people forget the world Rally champion Thierry Neuville? Also Belgian and imo more badass than F1

  5. No way that a random female employee recognized him. F1 drivers like that aren’t that well known.

  6. If he stayed in Belgium, he would not be where he is now.

    Motorsport has been decimated in this country, with motocross being the best example (thank you Tobback).

    Kudos to the few diehards that refuse to see their sports vanish.

  7. Lando is de neef van een collega van mijn vrouw. Dan komt de roem en glorie wel heel dichtbij !

  8. He’s sometimes used ut himself, at the Belgian GP he has often had some references to it on his helmet.
