As you said, if something’s shit, there’s no point trying to say it’s not. It’s been a tough year. There’ll be shit Sundays a year from now, too, and probably ten years from now. I hope you’re still racing then, so I can keep counting your points (whether I post them or not). :) But I wanted to say that I’ve loved watching you race this year, good days and bad days. My dreams look a little different from yours, and I generally have the luxury of things going wrong in private. But there have been days when I’ve felt a long way from where I want to be, and watching you get back up and try again has made me want to do the same. You’ve shown how quickly things can turn around and how much it matters to keep showing up until they do. I watched you for months back when you didn’t know if you’d even get a seat in F1 and joked about being the champion of sitting on the couch. Back then, you kept showing up and doing your best even when the outcomes you wanted took a little longer. Sometimes the things you’re working towards take a while but they do come. So thank you for showing up this year, too. With any luck, this is the season before things get really good again. Although... to be fair, there were a few Sundays this year I’d take again exactly as they were. I hope you would too. And for what it’s worth, I think some of the races I’ll be happiest to have watched you win are ones you haven’t even driven yet. 🧡
