Someone made an anti synonymous page, I love this
Click to expand...

Am I the only one confused at how all these pages gain followers so quickly? That account has existed for a day and already has almost 300 followers... Just like all of synonymous pages. Are there really that many people that like to listen to her lies?

Also i'm confused as what this is supposed to mean because they didn't clarify at all lol

I think they're capitalizing on Lando's popularity. Lando is the go-to driver for younger people now who will want to support him, or do/have something that's tied to him. Twitch streams gave him a huge and very loyal fanbase. The time is literally now or never, because that will end as soon as he gets older and younger drivers will come in to the sport.
There's drivers like Max and Lance who only want to do F1 and aren't interested in any other ventures, there's drivers like Charles who do other ventures but the ventures are very heavily linked with Ferrari, and there's Lando whose ventures line up with McLaren but they're not very tied together.

Yes I have to agree. They are capitalising on his popularity and that is a very smart thing to do. When it comes to financial things, I have always taken a cynical approach when it comes to looking at things, and never really understood why people spend ridiculous amounts of money on things when there are much cheaper versions that are just as good (out of context I know but just setting th scene) so may be it is just that part of me coming through and that’s why I view it this way. You all make very valid points though and have helped me to understand the potential reasoning a bit better 😊😊😊

Yes lando is popular, but all of this was set up years before he started f1, like when he was karting Adam norris had already made sure lando was making a brand for himself. Someone mentioned here earlier Adam norris retired really early after a lot of success in finance.. seems like after that he started doing all this with his kids.. It's much respect because the plan is paying back for a long term investment. But ultimately it buys protection on all levels to make sure you are in control of your future and finances.

Maybe it’s syns and she’s doing it to get folk to view her insanity.

I just completely word vomited an edited version of the original thing you quoted, but I never knew about the whole equestrian thing. Based on that, I get the whole thing of wanting the best for your kid as in reality I had never really thought about it in that way stupidly

ahhh i've just seen the pay driver thing. i mean lando isn't really a pay driver because his dad made no investments in mclaren. just because he has money, doesn't make him a pay driver. if it were like that, carlos, mick, max - all of them would have to be pay drivers in a way as well.

no i totally get that, i don't get why people spend so much money as well. but lando has a point when he says something could happen and he'd lose his seat and with that his income, it's f1... so setting up other sources of income are smart thinking from his dad

is pap really related to all of these? lando's management and his dad for sure but jon and his company? he is a physio after all, not really a manager or businessman in that regard
but jon definitely is part of gatherer systems, they make the neck training stuff and daniel/michael use their producs too, random fun fact hah

Yeah according to landonorris.com where all these are listed. I mean I'm not sure how much Jon owns or is independent, but PAP is under the same umbrella if you go to the sire and hit 'partners'

Untimely the reality of the situation is that unless one of them goes completely psycho and off the rails in like some form of child Disney star gone wrong fashion, we are never really going to know the ins and outs of it all. It’s the side of it all that is all mainly speculation and kept very very private from the public.

I think they're sending information about the account to someone who can take care of it, but all in all, I doubt Lando, McLaren, Jon or Add will do anything about it, maybe a cease and desist letter, but it's a lot of work for someone who doesn't give a duck

i think this is about lando personally, he's trained by them so of course they're his partner, his logo is on his helmet as well, just like add managments
but jon probably has nothing to do with the other ventures

Funnily enough I work with children as well (don’t ask me who is worse - the kids or the pharmacy patients I can’t decide they have very similar personality traits at times) but I have to say I have never been bit by a child. Licked yes. But not bitten. Hope all is ok though 😊😊

I feel Max is too obvious of an answer but Sharl is a good shout
