With their easy going personalities, I actually thought this would be the bromance of 2021... it doesn't seem to work that way...

I thought that all the teams had duplicate "garage setups" that were sea-freighted around the world. Ted Kravitz has mentioned it more than once in his post race notebooks. Maybe the difference now is an expansion as to what is replicated.

The next stage is to have duplicate teams of mechanics, they will be working too much if the number of races and especially double or triple headers increase any more, This too has been mentioned on various interviews I have seen.

So.... after beating our PU supplier for the last 2 back to back seasons.... should we cross our fingers for the same again this season?

Bad this is only that they also were beaten by all their former engine suppliers

I don't think Carlos and Lando were immediately a hit. It took a while for them to bond. I am not sure why people expect that on day one, Lando and Ricciardo will be hitting it off.

Lando for me looks like more reserved type of guy, and with such a big difference in age and mentality it's no wonder it is taking a while. Carlos on the other hand is closer to Lando in age and is not super loud and outgoing like Ricciardo is. Quite different personalities.

I am sure that with time, Lando and Ricciardo will find their groove and have fun together.

I think it has to do with Lando's mentality, more than anything, I just think he knows he has to up his game so it's more business focus on his end. He has to do what he did in Abu Dhabi all season, last lap Lando, all laps long.

I'm no psychologist but I think it's pretty clear that people incorrectly assume Daniel and Lando are "similar personalities". I think Daniel is very Type A, outgoing extroverted whereas Lando is actually quite introverted but likes to have fun in his own way -- a bit of a goofball. It will take time for each of them to find a comfort zone with each other when in such close proximity. And as long as they give each other space on the track, Zak will not really mind either way...

Let's not forget that the drivers won't have as much time to interact with each other as they would in a "normal" season because of Covid rules etc.

A little early to discuss even worst to know how good the relationship between Daniel and Lando will be.

He has stated as much in interviews, that he knows he has to up his game and that the pressure was really difficult for him.

But as for his relationship with DR, I'm not sure why people are thinking that there is no Bromance or judging the relationship at all. What is giving people this impression?

Anyway, personally I think they have already spent the night together and are just playing it cool until they make it official or one of them gets pregnant.

I personally don't care about how the drivers get along. As long as it's no worse that talirating each other and no colliding during races. I ignored the whole 2020 bromance. It's not why I watch F1.

Keeping the tradition of merging other power couple names together, our own F1 power couple could be called "Dando".
