this sums up my excitement towards f1 lately, i rather be sleep and skip the race without any expectation and somehow i still upset knowing nothing is change, and george absolutely deserve better..
9 years ago, george signed with mercedes as their junior driver, and now he has just won the wcc with the team. i hope mercedes knows how to respect the driver who has been part of their journey for all these years and gives him the recognition and treatment he deserves
Whether he was right or not, this is the attitude I need George to absorb and maintain through the end of this season and the entire 2027 campaign. Hold. Your. People. Accountable. Push back. Make them THINK and JUSTIFY.
🚨 | Toto Wolff responds to George Russell's frustration, saying he doesn't think Russell would have taken pole anyway:
“He was 18 milliseconds up on Norris at that stage."
"I don't think it would have been enough for pole, but he drove perfectly all session and merited to be on pole.”
George was basically the fastest driver in every Q session today and because he dared talk back to Toto or have some anger Toto goes ahead and says he probably wouldn’t have gotten P1 anyways. Yea, George you already know.
in 🇲🇽 he overruled marcus, decided to go for a single out lap and that got him p2.
my question is. why does he always need to question/overrule his engineer? how fucking tiring it must be, always having to think, whether the info and calls you're receiving are correct or not?!
