"Of course. I want to win races with McLaren. I want to win in papaya, I want to win championships."
What's the papaya reference here?

Papaya refers to the colour orange. Some people refer to the orange car as papaya.
He should drive for a competitive team. We don't know if McLaren's recent upgrade would translate to next year's success, hard to say. Given the right car, Lando should be able to challenge RB. Athletes have a tendency to be loyal to their team when to the team, they're always replaceable. Who's to say Oscar isn't going to be McLaren's number 1 driver?
What competitive team would that be though? Ferrari? Mercedes? It's not impossible for McLaren to be a challenger to RB next year. I don't think they'll be beating them every race but it's possible that they'll be a lot closer.
While we're on silly season... Norris replacing Perez in the RB would send me through the roof
