Story time!
I was in my university's automotive engineering club, and I don't want to say much more other than I live close to an F1 track. Merc let us look at their car, and the drivers were in the garages at the time. Lewis was nice enough, took some photos, signed some stuff. Nico just couldn't be arsed to even care that we existed, and actively told a classmate to fuck off.
Holy shit that sounds incredibly on brand for him.
If this was the 2016 season, then yeah it would make sense. Nico said himself that he hated how much of an asshole he had become trying to beat Lewis that year; hence why he retired immediately.
Nah I was done by then
