The fact that George isn’t speaking to the media after Mexico says a lot about where things stand right now. Especially when FIA didn’t even granted him an exemption from his media obligations.
And honestly, what could he possibly say that he hasn’t already said a hundred times this season?
Just think, George qualified on the front row, got a good initial launch and then suddenly had absolutely no speed. 3 positions lost before they even reached the first corner. Then came the penalty, another race spent trying to recover and eventually a P6 finish. His race engineer and Toto had to apologise to him, telling him it was them.
In ONE race one Mercedes driver became World Champion, while the other lost his last chance at the title and dropped from second to 4th in the championship standings and it wasn’t his fault. But it happened at race that decided everything. I don’t think people realise just how fucking brutal that is.
How many more times does he have to hear his team apologise? How many more weekends does he have to spend trying to recover from something that went wrong before he even had a proper chance to race?
George has been compared to Kimi all season long and we’ve had to listen to the media and people online constantly talking about how much better Kimi is, how he’s outperforming George, while completely ignoring everything George has been dealing with week after week.
And just imagine the pressure he’s been under. He went into this season as a favourite to win the WDC and now he’s dropped out even the top 3. All while having to deal with constant comparisons to his own teammate and watching people overlook just how much he’s been struggling with things beyond his control. I barely can imagine what is really going on RIGHT NOW. He deserved so much better than this
i dont care that kid is winning but let george get a decent car and get back to his P2 @MercedesAMGF1
if the principle and the team treats him like that kid, im pretty sure he’ll come and be proud of his younger teammates.
george’s lost was definitely not caused by his lack of skill nor any of his fault.
that's not emphasizing, that's just you yapping with extra steps.
he was smiling and laughing yesterday and that fucking principal always has something to let him down
