Well done to mclaren for recognising such an important day, and also Lando, especially after he's struggled with his mindset in recent races and qualifying 🧡
That’s my son Jon! So very proud of him and everything that he has achieved. Like his brother, Scott, he was a decent driver himself but circumstances dictated a different route for to have a career in motorsport.
What an absolutely lovely lad Lando is. He's still so young and will have a long and successful career in F1 and beyond. Mental health is so important for everyone and can't be talked about enough.
When Lando mentioned “lack of talent” in one of the post race interviews this past weekend, I felt that he was beating himself up unnecessarily. I’m glad he spoke about mental health today with the past weekend in perspective.
@@carmelasicurezza I know he has said that many times . I personally dont think he thinks that is the case. It is to me comes across as more Landos humour or perhaps its a defence mechanism but I am no expert. I have followed Lando from F3 and see how he has matured and think he is just a nice guy with a lot of talent.
Proud of McLaren for allowing their team to talk about important topics like mental health! Thank you very much for giving us this space for reflection 🧡✨
Lando will forever have my admiration for his vulnerability and willingness to encourage an open conversation around mental health. The pressure and spotlight we put drivers under is insane. He's handled it with such grace, but I'm sure it takes its toll. Much love 🧡
This is a very different video than McLarens usual videos but it is nice to see and learn how Lando overcomes his challenges that he faces time to time. Stay strong Lando 💪🧡
I agree. It reminded me a bit of 2019/20 and how he was so hard on himself and how much Carlos supported him and boosted him (if you remember the old McLaren unboxed videos). Let's hope that qualy response was a temporary response. He certainly bounced back in the race. Now he has to be his own mentor and learn how to deal with having a really competitive teammate who is being hyped all over the place.
@@purpledahlia1969 I personally think his race performance was the best of the weekend. Oscar is obviously very talented and new but Lando closed a 10 second gap to him and was mostly the quickest car out there. George did well to get 4th from his first lap incident but he was a half a minute behind Lando. Land hasn't`t been pushed in a while, this will be good for him I believe. Some are saying Oscar is the new Max but I think that's a bit quick to say. Both the McLaren boys are extremely quick and I'm not so sure it won't be Lando who prevails in the long run.
I love that McLaren and Lando did this! Mental health is so incredibly important and seeing someone with so much influence and following is very beneficial. Love you Lando, you are doing such an amazing job on all fronts, keep being you!! 🧡
I love Lando's funny and goofy side,but his serious side (about work,mental health...) is important too,even tho we tend to forget about it. Just thank you Lando and McLaren for speaking up about it 🙏🙏🙏
I feel like Lando must be a great friend, he’s this funny bubbly overgrown child most of the time, but here he seems quite warm, open and smart, I just want to hug him
Lando opening up about the struggles he faces, and it being so many of the same I do, helped me so much. Purely talking about it is so reassuring in a way. As someone who used to have a really bad eating disorder, and still struggles a lot with eating, it's almost calming knowing that people you look up to are working through the same issue and that they're getting better. It makes me feel like I'll get better, too, one day.
Thank you mclaren for this video. It’s great . The honesty of Lando and the caring great personality of Jon was good to see. Jon is very on top of his game, what an excellend mind he is . Thanks for building up Lando to a great person who he is and great driver .
Lando, you are amazing. Never forget that! There is no one I know that doesn't think you're awesome. Even people who are not a McLaren fan like you. It's so good you talk about mental health. So many people (including me) are struggling with it on a daily base. Talking about it helps start the conversation for people who normally don't talk about their struggles. Thanks a lot for talking about it. You are amazing! And for all the people out there, they're right. Make sure there is someone you can talk to. You're always worth it.
Mental first aider. What a great idea! So often, companies will have a first aider to deal with physical injuries, but we forget about the mind. This should be widely adopted. We have employee assistance programs at work, but to have a quick point of connection to chat to would be a great initiative. Well done Mclaren!
This is so important, being open and willing to speak about difficult subjects is so helpful in breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health. Having people like Lando and Oscar, who’s life sometimes appears so idyllic puts into perspective that everyone has their own battles. 🧡
So proud to have been a fan of McLaren for years. The fact that they pay attention to things like this, really confirms that for me. I’m very happy that Lando and the team help to normalise speaking about mental health.
So much respect for doing this! I'm chronicly depressed for over 30 years and they are so right about every thing they say. 2 years ago Lando was just a kid but he's grown up so fast and so good. Realizing that what he says and does matter to people and also taking responsibility for that. I love Max but I love Lando just as much! What a guy!
Lando is the perfect guy to last this long without a race win driving soo well!! The fact that he battles with mental health this much makes it even better man! Keep this up and your first race win will be the start of many!! 🏆 Lando will not only get many more wins than if he got them early, but will be a magnificent and inspirational human in the process! 😁❤️
Thank you Lando for speaking out about mental health. I been struggling over the years with anxiety, but I have reached out for help and my life is truly changing for the good! Once again, thank you.
This video is truly inspiring for people like me who have got mental health issues. Proud of you Lando for sharing your experiences with mental health. ❤
I have become a huge fan of Lando because of what he can do on a race weekend but feel that being open about mental health and driving home a simple message of how everyone can improve through some actionable items provided is very cool and different. Keep up the good work! Huge respect! Thank you!
Lando, i respect you as a racer and as a person and I enjoy watching you in F1! Mental health is a topic that needs more awareness and a lot of ppl struggle with theirs in anonymity on their own because of shame. You are awesome!
Huge huge props to McLaren Lando and John for this. Especially the part about self perception and accountability - on the one hand not being controlled by others perception but also taking pause and reflecting on differing opinions.
This is such an important video! I love you guys for talking about mental health so openly it touches my heart 🧡 thank you And Lando pls don't ever feel like you have to justify your words or actions and especially not your feelings. Whatever it is you feel and feel like it's right is good, it shouldn't matter to anyone. Love you
thanx so much to mclaren, jon, and lando for doing this. being honest and open about your mental health is very important. and i believe that if you're a role model (such as lando) opening up and talking about it in this way is genuinely important and amazing. i am sure that this helps many people (such as myself) to not be ashamed or scared to talk about our mental health and reach out if we are struggling in any way. so thanx so so much !! (hope anyone who reads this has a lovely day)
Lando is real for this, especially after Qatar he was being so hard on himself. We all love you Lando and you have so much talent and drive. Anyone having a microphone strapped to them for long periods of time are bound to say something blunt or without much processing time. Imagine that but in a car going hundreds of kilometers per hour, things slip, words get misinterpreted. You’re amazing Lando, we all know you have amazing things in your future.
To anyone in this comment section who may be struggling and might be reading this, I know it is hard but you all so so strong for making it this far. Keep holding on, it can get better. And thank you Mclaren for talking about this - no matter what age, job or anything, it can never be easy and we all deserve help 🫂
McLarens team is the one that talk so much about mental health and don't know how much they help people that work with them but also people like me who watch and have a bad mental health :)) 🧡🧡 Love y'all
Thank you for sharing this! It's sooo important to talk about the other side of 'success' and the importance of having a stable support net, wherever you are. Having a team like McLaren sharing it, with the impact that makes, it's truly awesome. Thank you
It's great that McLaren is dedicating some attention to this. I have also struggled with mental health but was able to reach out for help. I hope others feel inspired to also reach out.
Such a wonderful and important video! So glad to hear there are resources for people in such a high pressure sport (and everyone needs this as well!) brillianf, thanks for posting!
I'm mighty impressed with interview and what an emotionally intelligent individual Jon is and his obvious deep caring for Lando. It is also great for McLaren and the whole team that effective strategies are being put in place to cope with all aspects of the race season. Lando is a star for opening up his personal side for this piece, so well done all.
I had a body image problem in high school, I felt that everyone was sexier than me, only I was a lump, everything was better for skinny girls, I didn't want to get fat, I hated myself, but I'm here.
That was a really interesting conversation. Would like to see more content like that. Londo sounds so nice, I could actually imagine being friends with him, which isn’t the case for a lot of f1 drivers
To me the biggest thing is to say to someone that ''hey I dont fell good'' just that has helped a lot. Sometimes you don't know why you are not feeling good or what to say but if you just say something it helps a lot. Don't be alone and if you don't have anyone reach for help. ❤❤
thank you for shining light on this topic. it’s super important especially in today’s day and age and not many people focus on it’s importance … thank you all! 🧡
It's so good to see Lando talking about this, being open about these topics and raising awareness, especially after seeing him so down in the last race weekend. Hope his and jon the team's work will reflect worldwide for other athletes 🧡
Lando here saying talk to your friends and family, I fully tell you the same. Anyone. At shool a teacher. In practices the coach. If you feel alone, there are mental health centers and call services. You are never alone, even when you feel it the most. As someone who struggles with mental health daily, this cannot be adressed too much. Mental health is the first thing that matters. Always. No matter what anyone says. "You should be able to..." are the most hurtfull words. And you understand it only if you know the struggle to do basic needs, like going to shower, brushing hair and eating. The amount of energy it takes to "be alive", and someone basically says you are not doing enough. That hurts way more than anything. And no, it doesn't mean you are depressed if you struggle to do basic stuff. For me it's related to ADHD and overwhelmed mind that leads to anxiety and panic attacks. If I hadn't fought for my real mental health diagnosis, I might still be diagnosed as severly depressed and not gotten the help I need. And I seriously understood it afterwards, how much help I needed. And there is nothing wrong with that. Getting better is a journey. Setback need to happen for the progress to get a chance. Never doubt yourself, you know yourself best and you deserve to take the help offered. Always stay safe ❤ And again thanks for Lando and McLaren for bringing this to discussion. It literally saves lives ❤
Oh, Lando, I can relate to overthinking so much... Can't even imagine what he goes through when every action or word of his is scrutinised by the millions...
Thanks Lando. I resonate with the comments about sleep and nutrition. My late husband and I are huge fans of yours. I beat myself up too. You're a fighter and very brave. Good luck.
Thank you for helping others and advocating for mental health Lando. It is something that's not done enough in general and especially in the world of F1.
Lando seems to be genuine, nice, open, honest, natural person…….I think I have a bit of a ‘man crush’. 4:06 one key to happiness in life, is to reflect on if you value the opinion of a person saying something negative or hurtful before taking it to heart.
If every F1 driver does not feel exactly the same as Lando, I would be very surprised indeed. Very well done Lando, Jon and McLaren for this vitally important video.
Well donr McLaremfor giving time to such an impotant I remmeber how shy Lando was when he first came into F1 and how he used to giggle through interviews. Hopefully Lando can stay strong mentally in his battle with Oscar . Make the climb Lando.
Aww this is such a nice video. As a F1 fan and fighting with mental health issues myself, this video come at the right time to remind me that we all struggling with self doubt and expectations but there are ways to get better at it also. I really like what John mentioned about think about what core self you want to be, even it’s easy to drift away like Lando said, but just remember who you really want to be and not the picture that other try to paint you with. Thank you so much for the video. I will come back to watch it to remind myself about this too❤
Thank you Lando 🧡 I am having some mental health struggles at the moment and I appreciate you so much for doing this. That first win will come 😊 but you're already a winner in our eyes!
So glad to have stuck it out with you, McLaren! I almost jumped ship with Alonso then with Carlos. Danny came along but expectations were not met. It hurt watching Ric struggle. Then when I heard OP was coming, my ears perked up and I couldn't wait for him to get in the car. Tbh, L4N is my favorite driver and the way OP has pace to match makes me worry for Lando...please don't let it bother you, get inspired and fired up for if McLaren is truly your team you will only be genuinely happy for them. And never let anyone make you feel less valid for all your dreams are yours no matter what anyone else thinks! Peace
This is outstanding. Given this Qatar GP where the last thing anyone seemed to care about was Driver welfare and safety. So relevant to so many people. Well done guys
it takes so much courage to speak about our mental health!! of course the opinions of the ones we love matter the most, but it doesn't mean we can filter what comes to us from others! even if we try, it's still stings a bit... I can't even imagine what it likes to all the public figures cause they ended up being too vulnerable, their images and everything they do ends up exaggerated in some sense?? props to McLaren for reconigze this 🧡 it should be the minimun to all, but still!!!
I feel so happy when athletes talk about mental health and as a Formula 1 fan it comforts me that even the people who seem so perfect and put together can struggle with the same problems and there's no shame in seeking help 🧡🧡🧡 Thank you Lando and Jon💪

You did a good job. Really obviously.
wow!
amazing job being a great father to a great son
What an absolutely lovely lad Lando is. He's still so young and will have a long and successful career in F1 and beyond. Mental health is so important for everyone and can't be talked about enough.
Lando’s honesty is a mentality super power! He changed the perspective of an athletes mental health from his first days in the sport. 🧡

This is really helpful because you can have bad times and not know how to deal with it, but there are always ways, thanks Lando 🧡
I can only imagine the daily struggles a famous athlete has. So glad there are performance coaches to help keep them grounded. You go Jon!!
This is a very different video than McLarens usual videos but it is nice to see and learn how Lando overcomes his challenges that he faces time to time.
Stay strong Lando 💪🧡
Glad to know Lando has someone like Jon to support him. Especially since he's been his trainer since he was 14
Jon is great! But then I am biased! He’s my son!
@@SpeedDeemun-b6l Oh sweet. You should be proud of him. He seems like a great guy !
Was super upsetting seeing Lando hate on himself this weekend. He’s amazing and one not so great Quali lap doesn’t define what kind of person he is 😊

As a F1 fan and fighting with mental health issues myself, this video come at the right time to remind me that we all struggling with self doubt and expectations but there are ways to get better at it also. I really like what John mentioned about think about what core self you want to be, even it’s easy to drift away like Lando said, but just remember who you really want to be and not the picture that other try to paint you with. Thank you so much for the video. I will come back to watch it to remind myself about this too❤
i needed this so much today.
Thank you Lando 🧡 I am having some mental health struggles at the moment and I appreciate you so much for doing this. That first win will come 😊 but you're already a winner in our eyes!
So glad to have stuck it out with you, McLaren! I almost jumped ship with Alonso then with Carlos. Danny came along but expectations were not met. It hurt watching Ric struggle. Then when I heard OP was coming, my ears perked up and I couldn't wait for him to get in the car. Tbh, L4N is my favorite driver and the way OP has pace to match makes me worry for Lando...please don't let it bother you, get inspired and fired up for if McLaren is truly your team you will only be genuinely happy for them. And never let anyone make you feel less valid for all your dreams are yours no matter what anyone else thinks! Peace
This is outstanding. Given this Qatar GP where the last thing anyone seemed to care about was Driver welfare and safety. So relevant to so many people. Well done guys
Love this content! very realistic and as a fellow sportsman, this was a very relatable and valuable discussion
Wow, I just clicked on the video when it showed up. Didn’t expect them to start a conversation with mental health topic. Good job team.
it takes so much courage to speak about our mental health!! of course the opinions of the ones we love matter the most, but it doesn't mean we can filter what comes to us from others! even if we try, it's still stings a bit... I can't even imagine what it likes to all the public figures cause they ended up being too vulnerable, their images and everything they do ends up exaggerated in some sense?? props to McLaren for reconigze this 🧡 it should be the minimun to all, but still!!!
I feel so happy when athletes talk about mental health and as a Formula 1 fan it comforts me that even the people who seem so perfect and put together can struggle with the same problems and there's no shame in seeking help 🧡🧡🧡 Thank you Lando and Jon💪
Thank you for being so candid
This is so hekpful 🧡 thank you
Thank you! It's incredibly helpful to know that even successful role models struggle sometimes.
