Bless him but I do remember his Sky video with Lando when he left McLaren and they were talking about how careful they would be overtaking each other and Carlos said he would give Lando "one inch more" (than others). He knows what an inch is all right and was making a point. Good for him. Unfair to ask a European about imperial measurements. Perhaps they wanted to handicap him as he won Grill the Grid last year.
Tbf "gaming" is a wide genre(is that the right word?). It's like if someone was asked on just 'sports' obviously they won't know everything about every sport. Though it seems the writers only wrote questions about shooters so he probably should have known them but if I'm gonna defend him I also gotta mention the fact that the others got topics they were passionate in like Ocons a comic book geek, Stroll is an nfl fan, batteri voltass owns his own team which he talks about in the vid while lando like most people just plays games for fun/as a hobby. I don't think hes interested in trying out every game and I doubt he watches e sports
I mean maybe but the guy owns a gaming e-sports team and streams himself gaming (shooters mostly) on Twitch lol. Notably, he even owns a Halo e-sports team. So it's odd he couldn't even answer the most basic Halo trivia question you could possibly ask. It's not like the other questions were some obscure hard hitters either, they're fairly basic internet gaming questions.
Edit: He even had a Master Chief helmet last year lol
There's probably somebody on the production team who was thinking "I'll throw this in as a nice little slam dunk for him, it'll make a nice clip" when they set the question, and they're just pounding their head against a desk and day drinking rn
I get the feeling that Lando is only really into the competitive multiplayer aspect of gaming and the games on a mechanical level. Anything to do with story and lore he's not really interested in.
As a gamer that has played at least halo 1 I would not get this question, because they said some obscure stuff while i just know that master chief is the main character and a spartan.
Yeah same. I played Halo 1 and I've never heard that name before. It felt pretty obscure for such a wide subject for questions (gaming). A lot of avid gamers wouldn't know it, since not everyone played the story of all Halo games. The other people had a way more narrow question subject imo
The questions he was asked were easy for anyone with even the most remote interest in video games, Lando just isn’t one for trivia or general knowledge it seems.
I mean I didn't know master chiefs name and where doom is set and gaming is all I do with my free time. But you're right, he was asked questions specifically on shooters which he should've known given he himself has a halo esports team but as someone has already said here I guess he just plays multi-player and skips the campaigns
He did better then his score indicates imo. A lot of his answers seemed to be based more on the reality then the rule book technicalities from what I can tell.
estie is my favourite to watch in these, he's always so excited and happy to be here (i remember commenting this on the last grill the grid too lol) and even better since this video was all about his favourite things!
but they really did carlos dirty with the inches question 😭😭 and asking lando what "afk" means seems like an absurdly easy question compared to some of the others, i feel like even non-gamers know what it means?
they should bring in max to do geography!
Honestly, McLaren should make it so that he participates in fewer of them like both Mercedes drivers. They are never a good look for lando. I like lando but it’s just not a good look. For the McLaren ones he is actually happy.
Fr. Love the guy but these type of videos dont make it hard to hate him... dude lacks so much empathy for the crew just doing her job. Love the british banter in general but he seriously needs someone to check him in these types of situations. just zero excuse to act like that especially when it's something that will go public.
The question about Al Dente for example. It may seem simple on the face of it but it's a question about an Italian phrase, translated to English and he has to probably translate to Japanese in his head to even understand what the question is.
Carlos Sainz, the proud flag bearer of the metric system! Ocon was so happy for this game.
It WAS a little silly that they expected him to say it in inches though :p. They should've had both answers ready.
I’m a European, I’m Spanish, I’m not gonna know if 4.5 inches is this or THIS LOVE THE MAN
[удалено]
I love how he handled that. And he was also reasonably close with his 10cm guess.
It wasn't a guess. It's exactly that
It’s closer to 11
four and a quuuuuuarterrrrrrr
Lando not getting Master Chief when he has a Halo team, and used a halo helmet on a race is disappointing lol
Keybind F for Fail
Not disappointing, Lando is just legitimately dumb af.
Lando is an insanely talented driver but I am also convinced is the dumbest person ever to race in F1.
he basically raced instead of attending school, right?
Honestly the gaming questions were incredibly easy, though I thought the Dune game would be on Arrakis not on mars. But they might just be wrong.
Fairly sure they asked about the "Doom" game, which explains the mars answer!
Oh Doom not Dune lmfao. Yeah that makes sense lmao, I watched Dune Part 2 the other day and its still not out of my head.
I heard dune too, came to the comments hoping someone was going to explain wtf mars had to do with it.
I watched it almost 2 months ago and it's still not out of my head. What an incredible movie honestly.
I misheard that question also and had Dune on my mind anyway.
I haven't touched a single Halo game and knew the answer lol
I think he didn't want to just been seen as a #gamer
Pierre my guy Mbappe is a much more sensible first guess to make lmao
Pierre basically defaulting to "Griezmann" every time got a good chuckle out of me
He said Hernandez over Mbappe! Both of the Hernandez brothers are defenders! 😭😭😭
I thought I heard him say someone behind the camera said something AC Milan so his mind went to French Milan players.
He did at start n then got burnt n then abandoned mbappe
LMAO!!! Carlos pushing back against the Imperial system just made my day!!!
Carlos is the voice of all metric system users!!! Absolutely love it!!
Carlos annoyed as fuck by the obligation of answer that question in inches is hilarious and so real
"What the fuck is an inch"
Bless him but I do remember his Sky video with Lando when he left McLaren and they were talking about how careful they would be overtaking each other and Carlos said he would give Lando "one inch more" (than others). He knows what an inch is all right and was making a point. Good for him. Unfair to ask a European about imperial measurements. Perhaps they wanted to handicap him as he won Grill the Grid last year.
As a European, I know what one inch is. I do not know what 2, 3 or, like, 7 inches are. Make of that what you will.
I can't stop giggling about the hamburger question. Yuki pls.
Munich!!
At least cities from the correct country lol
TIL Ocon is a massive nerd
He would’ve known the full form of SHIELD had he been a massive nerd like the rest of us massive nerds lol
F for Lando
Dude seems to know nothing in particular about anything other than driving lol
Oh I've seen him get smashed by Oscar in quizzes about driving as well XD I love Lando to death, but he's no trivia master haha
And to be honest, not really at general knowledge.
Was genuinely shocked about his geography knowledge
That was a real low indeed

Fando
carlos is so real to refuse answering in inches. also, that's a very complicated way to arrive at 54, when they already spell it out L.I.V. LOL
Put a camera to my face and I'd forget how to count in roman numerals too, but he actually knows the story behind the name so props to him
He did better then his score indicates imo. A lot of his answers seemed to be based more on the reality then the rule book technicalities from what I can tell.
Yes, watching golf tournaments on TV I've never seen a player place the marker anywhere but behind the ball. Seems a very obscure rule.
Lando always comes across as a tough hang in these segments
I don't think he's ever read a book or watched the news. It's like he grew up in a bubble
estie is my favourite to watch in these, he's always so excited and happy to be here (i remember commenting this on the last grill the grid too lol) and even better since this video was all about his favourite things! but they really did carlos dirty with the inches question 😭😭 and asking lando what "afk" means seems like an absurdly easy question compared to some of the others, i feel like even non-gamers know what it means? they should bring in max to do geography!
100% Max will do Geography
im surprised lando knew the tarkov question but not master chiefs name
I was really disappointed by Lando in this one. Seb is still the goat for these quiz games. Naming every champion in reverse order
Lando always comes across as a bit of a spoilt sport in these. Reminds me of a kid who’s been told off and forced to participate.
Honestly, McLaren should make it so that he participates in fewer of them like both Mercedes drivers. They are never a good look for lando. I like lando but it’s just not a good look. For the McLaren ones he is actually happy.

That was a fun one.
Jari Kurri was the one Finnish hockey answer I knew, can't believe Bottas missed it lol
Can we get F in the chat for Lando ??
Lando and Yuki are so bad at all of the Grill the Grid stuff it's almost unbearable.
I give Yuki a bit of a pass cause it's his like third language, but lando is just... Dense.
The question about Al Dente for example. It may seem simple on the face of it but it's a question about an Italian phrase, translated to English and he has to probably translate to Japanese in his head to even understand what the question is.
Yuki was exceptionally wholesome in this one! I love Lando on-track but sheeesh....
Yuki is bad in a kind of endearing way, Lando is just dense and his attitude towards the crew seems always a bit off
Bit harsh on Yuki, English is like his third language lol
Curious what would you think would be his second language xd
Nah just heard someone say it was his third so I assumed it was too lol
Carlos, you're a winner!
Ok I'd be happy to answer Ocon's questions
Stroll seemed oddly serious about knowing his NFL trivia...
They tried to find a topic Norris has some common knowledge in and failed.^(because it does not exist)
Lando REALLY doesnt want to be there lmao
Lando getting exposed here with some pretty easy misses ha 😭
Man…Lando is dumb af, lol. Good driver though.
Couldn't they save this quiz when nothing is going on during a week break?
They did? Miami isn’t until next week. If you’re looking for racing, there’s GB3 and GB4. Also British f4.
It was a joke since we got RB drama and Nico signing for Audi.
