when haters are already hating george russell for nothing, some fans still try to blame him for problems that he COULD NOT control.
it does not show you are a better fan, it just shows how pathetic and shameful you are 🤡
if you've chosen to rep the most hated driver on the grid, the least you can do is extend him some grace during a bad period and stop bringing so much negativity around him. at the end of the day, literally no one wants him to perform more than he wants to perform.
Do you all remember Aka’s first race, when he crashed into the wall? The team repaired the car within just a few hours. Ironically, because he hit the wall, George’s car somehow had no issues that weekend.
Aka has lost positions at the start multiple times due to poor launches and mistakes off the line, yet the team repeatedly explained them away as car-related problems rather than driver errors. Meanwhile, George gradually worked through his own launch issues and was able to compensate for many of them through his driving and setup work, to the point where starts were no longer a major problem.
Even then, Mercedes continued to insist that Aka’s launch problems were caused by the car. They even prepared special paddles for him to help with his starts. They can make 200% of the effort for Aka, including having Bono guide him through every detail over team radio.
Yet George’s car has suffered problems in five races, and the team still hasn’t fixed them. On top of that, Mercedes’ PR keeps suggesting that the issues are somehow his own responsibility.
How can anyone see all of this and still claim that George’s performances are down to a lack of ability?This is Formula 1. The car determines most of the performance. And if a team chooses not to fix recurring issues, the impact on a driver’s results is obvious. Pretending otherwise is just ignoring reality.
the thing i’m really anxious about is that if his team really can’t help him, there’s no way he can bounce back.
and i have no clue at all whether his team is behind him 100%. hell knows 😭
same dont understand why so many 63s are so adamant to call him a bum and say he made a mistake or is losing mentality…actually watch your driver he is not
63s thinking they're somehow being brave for criticizing george when scrutiny, pressure, or accountability is the ONE thing that man absolutely does not lack. like I just have to laugh I'm sorry
🚨 George 🗣️"I don't really know. I mean, the last few races it's just been so challenging for me just to get the laps together. I remember at the first 2 races of the season, every lap I did, practice or quali, it was always P1 or P2, and now, nothing's clicking."
"Got some ideas, but yeah, my driving style is just not working with the car at the moment, so need to understand"
"I'm not having a lot of confidence in the car right now. I do have some ideas why that is, but I don't know right now. We did some good work to sort of understand some things with my driving style that I've had all of my years at Mercedes, and I think this car is not bringing out the best in me. So, I need to adjust to it or make some development changes to help me drive more naturally. Yeah, I'm sort of scratching my head right now."💔
i just wanna ask why.
it’s so fcking sad to see him losing that confidence in himself which is so different from how he was in australia.
i still remember how happy he was after the race and mercedes just totally destroyed that happy image in front of the world
today’s team radio is so hilarious. george said there was no grip at the very beginning and marcus didn’t believe him, saying it was just because of the low tyre temperature. guess what, there was indeed no grip and it was very uncomfortable for him.
Pra vocês verem que a Mercedes não está entregando condições iguais para os dois. Não é possível que apenas um carro nunca tenha problemas, enquanto o outro vive enfrentando varias contratempo.
no one is more disappointed than george himself im sure. they really cant brush this off and go onto the next, hope his garage gets serioused between now and the race and they find the pace! he's still got a banger car
