Knowing how it feels to be branded a cheat in #F1 , when I did nothing wrong (Spygate), I have complete respect for the job everyone’s done at RB whilst surrounded by negativity towards them. You feel deserving of celebration & respect, yet many unfairly judge you differently.👊

The more #Ferrari struggle to execute on #F1 race days, the more it seems to confirm systemic cultural issues in the organisation. People seem afraid to make big calls, communication’s hesitant & unconfident & no one, other than the drivers, seems willing to take responsibility.

No one has answers to Lewis in the Merc this year. They may've cruised relatively easily to victory today, but that's the result of yrs of incredibly impressive development & execution on his & the team's part & deserves massive respect. Up to others to catch up & no one has.
