not funny, just my opinion #GR1ND #GR63

[Holy_Moly @Holy_Molygr1]

So the FIA has once again proven that it can manually control the extra electrical power available to F1 cars. GR also reported “No power” during SQ1. Was he one of the drivers affected? GR has experienced similar power issues multiple times this season. Is this all just a coincidence?

[Daniel Valente 🏎️ @F1GuyDan]

Here was a radio message to Carlos Sainz from SQ1, which indicates there was an FIA issue with the power units.

“There is an FIA ‘slow in,’ looks like everyone was hit by an engine issue. Your sector 1 was 2 tenths up on Alex, don’t know what happened from there with the PU.”

streets are saying george sounded pissed at toto on the radio

[⃟ @fullhaterism]

i’m glad torger admitted he does read some of the hate so all our hard work actually paid off😭❤️ one step closer to seeing him hanging himself😭❤️

🚨 Toto Wolff blasts fans who believe they're favouring Kimi Antonelli over George Russell as "brainless"

"They're brainless, whoever thinks that. I mean, it's completely nonsensical. We've had it in the past with Lewis fans. I don't know what's going on? Do they think I have a button that says 'George engine failure now' or disadvantaging one driver against the other, when we're fighting for a constructor championship?"

"...Sometimes I read what people write. I find it hilarious. These people really contribute to my own entertainment when they're abusing the team or myself. I'm Satan, I've heard."

"Zero understanding or respect for people who come up with these things. Rather than watching Formula 1, they should do Teletubbies or some Mickey Mouse."

[nerm 👽 @gothgax]

George is just going to have to be like this the whole race

[when do you become starboy? @plswinworlds]

how bad must public opinion be for them to have George step forward 😂

[Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team @MercedesAMGF1]

George will have a new PU and make a step back to the Baku-spec W17 this weekend

An opportunity to learn, and to assist the Team 🤝

The incredible attitude we know we can always count on from George.

[셀버트 @uruptosmth]

George would've had 3 usable engines left in his pool if you'd only reacted to the warning signs🤮
oh but you did - you saw the warning signs in George's PU, and then changed Kimi's PU elements only🤯

1. George's PU makes weird sounds in Miami & confirmed in data, but you gave Kimi a new battery instead. George's battery blowing up in Canada killed the rest of his young PU components too (& chassis)
= 1st ICE lost.

2. George's PU leads to OBVIOUS Straight-line speed deficits in Silverstone, but you gave Kimi a new engine INSTEAD, for "inspecting the one used during the British Grand Prix as a precaution". George would've suffered from an Engine failure in the last laps of Spa, but his Lap 1 DNF made it crack in Hungary Q3 instead.
= 2nd ICE lost. It would've been saved 100% if you switched it out when you'd switched out Kimi's.

3. You ONLY get Kimi a new engine in Monza, again for precautionary measures - when he already has others left in his pool. You let George's ONLY engine bleed to death - and it died out in Bahrain.
= 3rd engine lost.

If you've given them the same PU schedules, George wouldn't be here in the first place.

"An opportunity to assist the Team"?? You forced him into it. The audacity.

[bia @LNFOURS]

how george russell’s season is going

[sya ୨ৎ @russyrax]

George believes his season has been disproportionately affected by factors outside his control.

"I've probably had more failures this year than I've had in the three seasons put together, and of course it's tough to take. If I'm being 100% fair with myself, as I've said before, the performance this season hasn't been strong enough, and it probably would have affected me more if I'd have still been in the fight.

But obviously the pressure and the momentum, every setback has an impact on that momentum. Since the start of the year (an engine failure) in Canada was the big one, and then, you know, the drive-through penalty in Monaco. The loss at the weekend has basically compromised two weekends for me.

Two races, Silverstone and Spa, with the PU issues we had (involving a loss of performance from the engine), it's been pretty incredible how things have panned out this year, but I think just focus on what you can control."

In love with my GR fam! Every race we have these incredible things for George!

Baku gave us the most beautiful helmet!
Malaysia gave us the fanbook and shinny beaded cap!🥹

For Singapore we already have this messages on a flag!

I am in love with the community and the family 🥹🩵🫶

any surprised? no 🤗

[formularacers @formularacers_]

🚨 | Mercedes reportedly don't have their updated ADUO engine ready for this weekend.

Russell's power unit change will be of the current specification.

Russell will therefore need another change to fit the ADUO engine when it arrives later this year.

FYI, you can sabotage someone by setting them up to fail, even if you’re not the one purposely causing them to fail. Bad information, misdirection, gaslighting, etc are all ways to do it without making it seem like you’re doing it. It could even come off as “well intentioned”.

[Lawson K Motorsport 🇩🇪 @Jhared130]

Sabotaje a George?

Voy a ser sincera, hace unos meses dije que no , con matices

Pero también planteé que no hace falta tocar el auto para que a un piloto le vaya mal

La no acción también es una forma de perjudicar, y tengo varias cosas que señalar

No hace falta inventar una maniobra o hacernos una película

❗Nadie apaga un coche desde el muro, vamos a ser realistas, eso no existe como operativa realista, hay telemetría, datos, ingeniería revisada y el hecho de que el auto de George se revise entre los dos garajes lo dejarían en evidencia

Si la FIA descubre manipulación, el riesgo de sanción existe

El problema es otro, ¿cómo sancionas lo que no podes probar? ¿Cómo sancionas una serie de eventos "desafortunados"?

Lo que sí se puede documentar es más incómodo

▫️Hay una temporada de desidia, retrasos y mala comunicación que no es simétrica

La lista de malos fallos no parece mala suerte repartida, parecen fallos que se repiten de un solo lado del garaje, y respuestas que llegan tarde, no llegan, o siguen en un barco...

Vamos con el hilo los invito a leer antes de contradecirme

1/5

at a loss of words...

what the article's saying:

It was Mercedes' intention to use Russell's PU as the guinea pig to conduct a reliability test.
The looming DNF was not of Mercedes' concern - it was deliberate data collection on the engine's lifespan.
