no, this isn't just about being angry, but honestly, the Mercedes team's attitude towards George Russell is getting worse. no one even showed up for his podium finish at the Barcelona GP.
if the reason was that the garage was too noisy, then why is it so normal every time George Russell loses a DNF and the garage should be noisy?
he’s still able to attend the podium celebrations for the other drivers. this isn't the driver's fault, but purely the Mercedes team's fault for treating both of their drivers so unequally.
honestly, my hatred for the Mercedes team is growing by the day. even if George Russell really is going to see out his contract, i agree.
rather than fighting alone without any appreciation from your own team.
let’s just say that the 100th race with Mercedes never happened.
but the podium with the 63s did happen and we celebrate you George Russell, wherever you are.
George Russell started his 100th Grand Prix with Mercedes from pole position.
Led the race.
Built a gap.
Managed the tyres.
Mercedes instructed Russell to look after his tyres during the opening stint.
Yet instead of extending that stint and capitalising on the tyre life they had asked him to preserve, they brought him in early anyway.
If you’re going to stop early, you tell your driver to push.
If you’re asking him to save tyres, you extend the stint.
You don’t do both.
Then Mercedes handed the strategic initiative to Ferrari.
Hamilton’s three-stop strategy was a threat long before it became decisive. Yet Mercedes neither chose to cover it nor committed to extending Russell’s stints and protecting track position.
When the Virtual Safety Car arrived, Ferrari was perfectly positioned to take advantage of it.
Pole position became P2.
Numbers never lie.
If you’re the lead car, you either cover the undercut or force the alternative strategy to beat you on pure pace.
Mercedes did neither today.
P2 is still a strong result.
But Barcelona was a race Mercedes lost on the pit wall.

All eyes on tomorrow 👊

Official statement with our clarifications regarding the official statement from our neighbors @realmadriden:
1. Your video of the Pope got cut off before he said he was also an Atleti fan.
2. You may have confused politeness with gratitude, but just to be clear: we don’t thank you for anything.
3. We are neither considering nor evaluating any offer for Julián.
4. How could we not get along, when you make us laugh even more than @FCBarcelona?
