🚨 George 🗣️"I’m just dying to have a smooth weekend. I’m not asking for the world to give me luck, I just want neutral luck. That’s how it goes in racing sometimes,"
"I’ve had six races. Monaco and Miami, honestly speaking, my performance wasn’t strong enough. The other four, I think my performances have been very strong. We’re stood here and probably could have had three more podiums if things had just gone normal."
lando backs george to fight back in the title battle:
"i don't know if george puts a lot of pressure on himself or feels it or not so i don't know what situation he is necessarily in now but he has always been quite a confident guy so whereas i went from not much confidence to 'what have i got to lose now' he is kind of going the opposite way.
there's a lot of things to think about as soon as someone says that you are a title contender.. if he says he is going around with no pressure now then we will see if that helps him or not.
he's a guy i respect a lot, i think he's very talented so i have a good feeling that he will fight back."
GR 💬 : This is why I was pleading with them not to give me the drive-through penalty, for the incorrect penalty in the race. Because once you have a drive-through, there is nothing you can do.
the fact that the media and him are so set in pushing the narrative that george is playing “mind games” is very strange to see. george has been nothing but kind with his words, he always gave antonelli his flowers when he could. but whatever floats their boat, ig
George already served the penalty and it can't be reversed, I get that, but for a team that made a whole post about how they had his back, you didn't even TRY to protest or advocate for your driver, Mercedes?
George was the only driver that got a drive-thru penalty in Monaco, making it less likely to get overturned. However, as we’ve seen in 2025, every point matters. @MercedesAMGF1 not requesting to attend, or even lodge their own RoR is disappointing, to say the least. Optics MATTER
