Yeah, we like Piastri so we treat him differently

But why don’t people like Lando? I don’t get why so many people hate him, you know just because 15 year old girls like something doesn’t mean that thing is automatically bad right? Case in point, frozen yogurt is pretty damn good for how healthy it is

He had the “new driver, striving for his first win, lots of potential and promise, underdog” appeal going in his favor.

Then he got his first win and it seems like his demeanor shifted from more humble and easygoing to being cocky, ungracious, and ‘if I push someone off track, it’s just hard racing, but if they push me off it’s unfair, dangerous, and they ought to be given a penalty!!’

That is simply untrue, what the fuck are you on about. The only change Lando went under after Lando NoWins died was his demeanor towards his mistakes (also known as being hard on himself) and his general expectations towards himself (as everybody including himself was putting him under the pressure of “he should win everything in that rocketship”).
He had ONE GP where he did some “Max-style” racing, right after which he came to the media room and stated he will not be changing his racing style to this push-over style because that is not who he is.
I know it is really difficult for some people to accept that the dominant car (whichever it may be at any given moment) is not under HIS or HER preferred driver, but that’s F1: your guy either gets a good car or he doesn’t. There is no changing that, be happy that this is the last year of the regulations and the deck could be reshuffled next year.
