some 63s NEED to invest in a priv because yall are being annoying asf doomposting before the race and being negative like please atleast let the race get over 🙏🏻🙏🏻 we have such a positive driver and here come the fans trying to be negative nancys 😭😭
🚨 The team is in discussions with its lawyers to see if there are any grounds for it to push the FIA to “remedy” George’s lost points in the Monaco Grand Prix amid the controversy over pitlane speed limit penalties
Toto 🗣️"I think we are having some timing limitations and some other legal constraints, but definitely [it is] something we have a reason to be annoyed for. And I wish we could have had those conversations before the race on Sunday.”
"Obviously, there are certain timing restraints. We wouldn’t appeal the Gasly results certainly, but we would like the FIA to look at what could be the remedies for George’s race."
"We were on the phone with our lawyers to look at what can we do for George," he said
"The drive-through, if it didn’t happen at the end, is the equivalent of 20 seconds’ race time. What would 20-seconds [in] race time have meant for his result?"
"Do we think that we realistically have a chance of reverting the result? I don’t think so."
"But we definitely have to give it a go if we see that there is a millimetre of chance to do so, and bring him back to whatever it was, P4, we’ve calculated, P3 or P4."

Imagine your team doesn't protest for you, your luck ruins almost every race, and then you see Kym Illman walking towards you and you just know some bullshit caption is about to drop with your pic attached
before Canada everybody talked how it will be a test for George's mentality, if he withstands a pressure as he arrived there as a favourite, but since then, everybody absolutely forgot how he got two poles, sprint win and DNF from the lead
@swiatekology the lack of reaction during the race also baffles me. everybody saw those penalties accumulating and didn't even had a thought if "maybe let's do the investigation after the race"
you get the penalty, you trust FIA has the right processes, you serve it, turns out the penalty was wrong, "well we cannot do anything about it since you served our penalty". we can do something when you ignored and did not serve our penalty. @fia you are a joke
meanwhile mercedes during the race:
not now geroge, we'll talk about it later haha. yeah well, others got penalized too, there's some sort of error in the system. haha. oh well. anyway onto barcelona
Fun Fact:
GEORGE RUSSELL HIMSELF WENT TO THE STEWARDS TO ASK REGARDING THE PENALTY.
No Mercedes did not even try to go. It was George fighting for his place. Fighting for himself to leave in between the time to go personally to ask regarding his penalty.
The fault of the drive through goes to George’s garage who forgot about the penalty!!!
Do you really expect them to stand up for him.??
it's as if somebody sat down and thought what could be the most absurd unfortunate sequence of events. receiving a penalty for something you didn't do, and then having your team fuck it up during the pit stop, so you cannot appeal that anymore.
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
