Colapinto locked up, taking out his own teammate and Lando, and that was what hurt the most—it wasn't his fault that he had to retire.
Lando was already having a rough weekend—losing pole position due to a mistake and retiring from the race because of an error that wasn't even his fault.
And let’s be honest: you shed a few tears during the race. It was completely natural; the feeling of helplessness and the fear of watching two cars take your boyfriend out made you fear the worst, even though nothing serious actually happened.
After the race, Franco obviously apologized, but an apology didn't seem like enough for either you or Lando. You spent nearly fifteen minutes venting to your colleagues, while Lando called for penalties against Colapinto in every interview he gave. Finally, he reached your spot in the media pen, wearing that teary-eyed look you knew so well. You had to remain professional, but it was hard when the person you loved most was on the verge of tears right in front of you. You let your colleagues speak first, and finally, it was your turn.
