Forever wishing merc admin would do something about the amount of shitty comments they get about George. Bc god forbid they post about their other driver 🙄 like yes you can not rise to it and ignore it but bloody hell it’s so much and shouldn’t just be accepted..

Hoping for much more peaceful comment sections once the cult leaves but until then.. pls acknowledge it. Call them out. Do something about it.

very weird way to announce your new team principal but ok alpine

You can instantly id josh purely by leg length

Pit debrief put out an article collating the drivers opinions on the Alonso Brake check incident (here)

Lewis being one of the only drivers sympathising with George’s fear, being concerned for him, and calling out Alonso’s behavior as unjustifiable where other drivers said George should have just expected it…

Hamilton added that he didn’t “understand” Alonso’s move, pointing out that Russell found himself in a precarious position as a result.

“The stewards obviously found a reason to penalise. If I try to put myself in Fernando’s position I can’t understand the manoeuvre, but I’m just glad that George is safe. It’s a frightening position to be in, in the middle of the track, with cars coming around at great speeds.”

It’s almost like the guy who’s had to deal with Alonso the longest, including being his teammate, might know exactly what he was trying to do.

😭😭 IS HE OLD ENOUGH TO BE A TEACHER

Thinking about George’s crash and Zhou’s crash at Silverstone. How George, acting on instinct, parked his car forfeited his race, and hardly thought about rushing to help in anyway he could. How he talked about how scared he had felt, and how worried for Zhou he had been. How he found himself in a situation that must have been one of his worst fears and they didn’t red flag the race for him. Despite how much he was asking for one. No. They had him sitting on the track, unable to see the cars coming at him, trapped and frantically looking around waiting for that impact. Its horrifying. It shouldn’t have happened to anyone, and the fact that George showed his true character by immediately placing another drivers safety first, but the sport couldn’t do that for him in return is so upsetting.
