Every time I think about it, it breaks my heart. He put so much trust in his team, his crew, and turns out they are the one who tries to suffocate him so desperately.
🚨 Russell’s engineer Marcus lied to him, claiming that the penalty had already been cleared, causing him to miss a second opportunity to serve it. Was this instruction coming from Mercedes? 🚨
After Leclerc hit the wall, a red flag wasn't immediately shown. Under yellow flags, drivers still had to pit and navigate around the final corner as before.
Russell voluntarily offered to serve a stop-and-go penalty in the pits to clear his time. He was 12 seconds ahead of Gasly when he pitted, so even after serving it, he wouldn't lose position.
Marcus told him the penalty had been cleared and to wait for Race Control to update.

“mercedes gave george to much consideration - too much protection. the moment the team risks losing the win, you race together for team’s result. and mercedes should have done that sooner. antonelli was faster again in the race. in qualifying russell can mix it with the best, but in the race there’s something missing.”

“Ladies first” and “we’ve done enough of that today” Mercedes media team and kimi antonelli mocking george (the most polite person and a driver of their team) and making those type of jokes???
Looking back to Mercedes’ debrief from 2025 Canada (and that’s the 1st win of the year), his team never acknowledged his achievement and high performance, never.
Don't be easily satisfied. They did nothing to stop Toto from spreading the false narrative in the media that Kimi was faster. Toto should publicly apologize for ruining George’s reputation during his 100th race
Every dream needs a team? Looking back at how GR’s first and 100th races with Mercedes destroyed two possible P1s. and the workplace bullying behind them.
será que alguma página de F1 do Twitter vai falar sobre isso ou vai continuar seguindo a boiada e alimentando a narrativa que George é um piloto ruim/mediano/sentindo a pressão porque atrai engajamento??
