"that's on us" and where was that accountability when you told him there was no straight line issue? where was that accountability when he needed it and you threw him to the wolves instead??
Austrian Wolff hit back to Helmut Marko remarks (Article):
"I think he's wrong on George. George has all the ability, I think the car doesn't suit him. I think that, at the beginning of the season, it's difficult to cope with a situation where you're feeling like 'This is my year to come', and then you have this wunderkind on the other side that starts to really chip away.
And I believe that in a new season, George, if we provide him a quick car, has absolutely what it needs to win a championship.
George, for all of us in the team, is a champion and has won in every category. I think he merits to be put in the group of the very best ones. This year we see this variability in results.
When we land the car in the way that suits him, he's absolutely fine. But when it drops out of the operational window, he struggles. He struggles more than maybe Kimi, and that is on us. We just have to work it out.
George is not half a second slower, three tenths slower than Kimi. That's just absolutely not the case. So what is it that he doesn't like? What is it that we need to do in terms of modifying the car, setting it up in a different way for him to go fast? Because it's all there intelligence, ability, determination."
me when i remember that george also lost his mathematical chance at the title in mexico last year
Next week George could lose both his last mathematical chance at the title and his P2 in the drivers’ standings
After Austin GP:
George — 242
Lewis — 241
Max — 236
Charles — 233
Just 9 points between them
To keep the very last straw of title hope, George needs to win in Mexico with Kimi finishing P10 or lower. Meanwhile by finishing even P5 he risks to lose 3 positions if Charles wins, Max finishes P2 and Lewis P3. Then George drops straight to P5.
imagine going into a race still mathematically fighting for the title and coming out of it fifth in the championship. I have no words
atp I'm leaving it up to fate and my body clock to see if i wake up organically (no alarm). if i don't, then at least i won't have to watch an f1 race at like... 4am
