 Yes. IIRC, Lando committed to a long contract with, what was then, a team
in the doldrums. That act of faith deserves a reward.
 

I agree. Without the unwavering services of such a talented driver they couldn't have developed the car as much as they have. It's as much Lando's car as it is the design team's who built it around him. Oscar will have his day but the present and near future at McLaren IMO should belong to Lando when it comes down to the team deciding who wins a race.
