Imagine: you graduate from Metea Valley High School. You end up on the Bachelor. He likes you. He comes to Naperville/Aurora. You take him to the Mattress Firm. Then you go across the street to the other Mattress Firm. Finally you walk a block to the third Mattress Firm. No rose.
Imagine: you graduate from Lake Braddock Secondary School. You end up on the Bachelor. He likes you. He comes to your hometown. You take him to Glory Days. You spill a shark attack on him. The cheese fries take an hour to get to the table. You do not get a rose.

@prettyrusslboy It's interesting that he thanks Toto for the improvements in the same way that a medieval painter thanks God for something the painter themself created
george: at the beginning our deployment was so different
kimi: yea was so different, what strat were you in
g: 7 and 4
k: ah ok
g: were you in 8
k: yes
g: yeah that’s why
thanks to george for pointing that out in the cooldown. HE ASKED TO CHANGE IT IN THE RACE
He is the champion in my heart. In 30 years no one will remember this part of history, but I will remember how he fought with utmost skill, wisdom, calmness and grace against all odds and not losing himself and it will always encourage me.
I don't think we fully realise how big of a deal it is for an ACTIVE f1 driver who is at the peak of his career who is only 26 years old to not only buy a racing team that will take part in MULTIPLE feeder series that he himself raced in less than 10 years ago but also personally invest millions of dollars into a charity directly going to help kids less privileged than himself to get to his level one day.
Not just this but he has been planning this for a really long time and used his branding and connections to form a team that will make this venture successful and also has more sponsors than the F1 team he races for had when he joined them all before it was announced to public.
This is unprecedented and legendary and needs to be celebrated regardless of whether you are a fan of him personally or not.
Won the sprint
outqualified his teammate twice
When he wasn’t on a ridiculously understeery set up he matched his teammate’s pace in the race
Podium
THIS IS A POSITIVE WEEKEND the GR1ND CONTINUES
The thought that after Gwen leaves, Mercedes may no longer give chances to talented kids without endless money behind them genuinely hurts.
He saw not just potential, but their struggles, and fought to open doors when they needed someone in their corner.
Hey @MercedesAMGF1 , maybe use the summer break to teach your (still) teenager what being a good teammate actually looks like. Make him watch a few of George's interviews as homework so he doesn't get bored or find time for more silly things, like crashing cars 🙃
max overtaking on a track where it's not that hard but still pushing them and driving dangerously: goat
george overtaking on a track where it's very hard to do without causing any issues for anyone: meh nothing special
First half of the season, done. Some highs, some disappointing moments but still a long way to go until the finale. Thanks to the team for the constant, hard work & to the fans for all the love. Catch you soon!
I don’t blame Ant at all. After all, he’s just a 19-year-old teenager who still needs Bono to tell him over the team radio the difference between a single yellow and a double yellow, and even when to hit the brakes.
The fact that he could say something like that so naturally makes me think Mercedes must regularly shift the blame onto GR in internal meetings—pinning mistakes on him before they’ve even investigated what actually happened. If that’s what he hears all the time, it’s no surprise those words came out so easily.
The irony is that last year, when Ant was struggling through the European races and facing heavy criticism, it was GR—at this very same Hungarian Grand Prix—who publicly defended him in interviews, even putting himself down to take some of the pressure off Ant. And this year, GR has continued to show him nothing but respect.
In the end, it’s just another version of The Farmer and the Snake.
