    Interesting "spin" (did I use those correctly...)

    Lando says it shows his faith in McLaren. I always thought it was the constructors who needed faith in their driver's abilities.

    FWIW

    That's interesting. Maybe MCL is trying to do a Verstappen and have
    consistency throughout development by committing to a single driver.

    I don't know what that says for DR though.

    To me it says that the 'higher-ranked teams' already have their number-one drivers locked in for
    the foreseeable future. The best thing Lando could do was to show commitment to McLaren and hope
    that, together they can return to the front.

    That's one way to put it.
