Max is a good driver which Russell will never be and on track Max proves he is a champion. Russell don't respect anyone in this sport and he will continue to be above himself, just to prove that he is a true replacement for Lewis which will never be.
Mercedes should start building rocketships first again. Also they're not Red Bull. Max wants to stay at his team. Mercedes has quite the air of toxicity that Max doesn't want. Ferrari have better chances of signing him on.
Answer the following questions: 1. Why did Russell do this? 2. Who will benefit? 3. Will Max be Russell's teammate in 2026? 4. Is Russell sure to beat Max? 5. Is there any way to prevent Max from becoming Russell's teammate?
Because he thought he will benefit from it. It also answers second question. NO to the rest, including last question because Max won't be Russell's teammate anywhere.
1 - Because Russel 2 - Mercedes team (read: whoever is the other driver) 3 - Unclear but certainly not Max like some people think 4 - Unlikely, just look at first corner of last race, Russel cant handle Max 5 - That's not happening mate, i don't know who "planted this seed" in the minds of so many fans lately, but Max has a contract until 2028 and keeps saying he loves RB and would never leave them, Toto can jump up and down and offer whatever but it wont change a thing, Max likes RB too much.
@@suicidalbanananana 1. Max's contract has an exit clause (similar to Lewis' contract) 2. The 2026 rule change favors Mercedes (Mercedes' strength is internal combustion engines) 3. Toto made it clear that Max's annual income is no less than $100 million 4. RB's internal struggle has not subsided, which adds uncertainty
@@suicidalbanananana Totally agreed. On 4, if the rumours are true, the Max said he'll get Russell in turn 1...and he did. That'll live in his head for a long time. We'll see if Max destroyed Lando's mindset, but I don't think it will take long to destroy Russell's. Only Charles might be up for it. And the old guards, Lewis and Alonso
Verstappen is "dirty". He just throws it up the inside and expects the other guy to give him room. When they don't, he whinges. Lewis stood up to him (Silverstone), had his 8th championship in the bag until Red Bull barracked Massi to give it to Verstappen.
@@johnhughes9276if lewis didnt almost kill verstappen in.silverstone or if bottas dis not take out half the grid in hungary then the last race wouldnt even matter, even if so, merc should have pitted for softs just like RB but guess what they wanted track position and thought they were smart. Smh
george is like the kid in primary school who thinks he is the teachers pet and favorite...and does everything "necessary" to stay there... not my type of "racer"...but he seems to fit nicely into totos team...yep....Lewis might be onto something really good going to Ferrari.....especially looking how "things" went for him this year.....haha...
Russell is similar to Albon, good enough to look fast against teammates in Williams, but when he goes in big league he sometimes can show pace but more than not he make misstakes, or do something like crash in Bottas, Alonso etc... just nowhere near Max speed and more important constistancy
@@Firemarioflower Im Max fan, but Lewis had proved something, even though in todays formula you kinda need fastest car to be champ but you also need focus and champ mentality to actually win it, russell simply doesnt have it
@@valentingrden4831 Russell DOES have it, as he's able to beat faster cars, beat champion drivers and get the current champion nervous.... he's skilled, has got race craft, qualifying pace.

Then there's Norris and Russell, who the British media are pandering too now that Lewis is failling ever more. He will defeat Hamilton again this year and took a commanding win. All he needs to do is iron out mistakes.
@@valentingrden4831 No, it's the fact that he doesn't back down for the big ego of Maximum Inflatedness.... that's what you can't stand.

Dutch fans are so tiresome, there's always ZERO objectivity, they should stick to watching football as they have the same behaviour there which shouldnt'be part of F1..

It’s straightforward, really. A “slow” lap is meant to be just that-slow. But apparently, George missed that memo and decided to channel his inner speed demon, zooming through a "slow" lap like he’s auditioning for Fast & Furious: Pit Lane Pandemonium. What does this do? It creates a dangerous situation by driving way (!!) too fast toward the cars ahead of him. Now, this sort of high-octane nonsense ought to be punished, right? I mean, it’s all there in the rulebook-crystal clear, black and white, no room for debate. And guess what? Current and former F1 drivers (English AND non-English, mind you) all seem to agree. But alas, the stewards-masters of plot twists-decide to punish... Max instead. You can form your own opinion on this circus act, but one thing’s for sure: it’s a one-of-a-kind, debatably bonkers decision that belongs in the F1 Hall of Controversies.
Racing is tough with a lot if "cut n thrust" for advantage. It seems that Max has far more inate skill that allows him to guage more accurately the risks he takes. Whatever the rights and wrongs it does seem that Russell is more than a bit if a diva!!! Worse than that is being a sneaky whiner in front of the stewards while downplaying the event while on camera. Grow a pair buddy!!! If you've something to say, say it consistently. Max for all his faults is consistent. He clearly has buckets more talent as shown by nursing an inferior car to take the World Championship Driver cup. It also seems that MBS's divisive "leadship" is trickling down - time for him to "jog on" and find another sport to f@ck up.
Russel is sneaky, even for outsiders clear to see. They’ve had a couple of issues already on track, and from their off track clashes it’s clear there’s no love lost between the two. It appears that Russel is jealous of Verstappen, hence his earlier laughable comments that he is the one to bring the fight to Verstappen next season. Do the talk Russel? Than walk the walk!
Russel is clearly some kind of Max cargo cultist. You can tell by how he talks in that interview regarding the Baku incident, you get the impression he thinks he's being like Max by driving into people, or when he doubled down on getting Max a bullshit penalty in Qatar.
I think George is right in his attitude. It is not being Mr. Nice like Lando Norris that he will be able to beat Max one day. It is all mind games against Max and he managed to get under his skin this time.
And where did it get him? Out of the lead in the first corner, because that is what you get from getting under Max’s skin. He’s at his best when you put him down.. So yeah, great minds games George. Such a smart guy!
Not a fan of Russell. But Max plays hard and loose so can’t complain when others play hardball on track. Being two faced is something else though. Totally understand Max’s response to Russell’s deliberate actions to milk a penalty.
Max is not mad about Russell complaining on the radio, ALL DRIVERS DO THAT! He is upset about Russell being two-faced! Not to even mention NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN PENALIZED for that, but Max was because Russell put in a real dramatic performance in the stewards office.
I guess Wolfe previously stating "we'd rather cheat & win, rather than be legit & last" it's rubbed off onto Karen Russell although he's always been cocksure but a t wat
What is the usual penalty for "impeding" when both drivers are on a cool-down lap? nothing. Because it's not a penalty situation. The Stewards just made up a one-place grid penalty on the fly to placate Mercedes. When Checo got a one place grid penalty in 2020, it was for a collision in FP2. When Hulkenberg got a one place grid penalty in 2016, it was for using the wrong tyres. I can find NO examples of drivers getting penalized for "impeding" when both drivers were on a cool down lap. Russell was told of Max's position, and still cried about it.
2:13 That stupid beeping. There is war on TV each day, we have racism etc. But noooo, when someone says DICKHEAD, we must be protected. Hearing a word like that is the worst thing we can ever experience in our lives!
What you call "racism" usually amounts to little more than namecalling, as well. You've just been conditioned to believe that type of namecalling is on the level of war and bloodshed lol.
The delta argument is nonsense. He immediately went into 1st gear right after passing Max. Losing respect like that is not worth it. Embarrassing tactic at such a high performance level.
Worst-case scenario: Max ends up at Mercedes in 2026, but he has a few conditions. One of them is that he doesn’t want George Russell as a teammate. As a result, Mercedes lets George go, and he possibly ends up back at Williams, potentially marking the decline of his career.
Well, Russel had his win pissed on by Max winning the world championship on that race... As DC said in the Vegas GP, "i never watched a gp back, incidents yes, to see who was at fault, but watching a race i was in, would be very egocentric" ..... Betcha Russel watched the race back.. twice. Even Hamilton didn't want to sit next to his teamm8 in the limo to the podium. XD
Interesting, for the actual incident Verstappen was in the wrong as he was going slow on the racing line - regardless of how much notice Russell had. That being said, Max is always consistent and honest... sometimes brutally honest which can work against him but always seems honest. Whereas Russell is all smiles and nicely spoken with his British accent but snakey.... with the sidepod issue he could have said "Sorry dude, cold tyres, it was ambitious" but nope, no apology.
so funny that once max was targeted lewis ike that. and now he is being targeted by the others. totally different approach by drivers , answers etc. i think its about being grown personality
It's one thing to be an a**hole when you're fighting for a championship, but if you're not in the title race, it just makes you look silly and petty. I understand when people step on each other's toes where there's a Championship on the line, but if you're sitting 6th or 8th in the standings, your focus should be on improving your own performance, not messing with someone else's title fight.
Yeah that was pretty poor of Russel in qualifying and yep I agree the guys a snake but I did laugh and thought how ironic Max telling another driver "you got to leave space" 🤣
george aint wrong. it aint til recently we've seen max not drive like a prick. mayB it was the car struggling but we all wanna see max drive like he has at the end of this season
Russel is a whiny little weasel that causes accidents and then gets on the blower to explain how it was unavoidable for him and the other driver caused it. just look at the onboards from Qatar 2024, russel had Max in his sights for at least 3 corners but chose to accelerate up to the back of him to cause an incident.
Russell has seriously screw-up Mercedes since his arrival. This 2-face guy have no special race craft and he's simply bluffing his way in this top team...!!!
George Russell trying to explain why he is pathetic trying to backstab to get on the podium He just exposed himself, still lots of his countrymen will need a UK driver on the top step for health reasons
I dont like treacherous people and Russell is one to avoid. It is very clear that he manipulated the whole situation. That is not what F1 racing is about. What a snake.
And you guys have only just realised this.he was a arogant twat at williams then got even worse at merc. remember how he was jabbing his finger at bottas was he was still in the cockpit after a crash??????
That won't happen unless Mercedes suddenly builds a rocket ship for next season and RB doesn't get their act together at the same time. In equal cars, Woody is no match.
OK George is a creep, max was right when Russel was a creep, and pointed him out. But.. come on.. max pushes people off the track like there is no tomorrow. What are max´s excuises? "Its the otehr guys fault..." every time. So yeah its a race driver thing, not a Russel or Max thing.
George is so pathetic and desperate. Shame he will never actually fill Lewis’ shoes. Trying too hard to be recognised. Toto will also replace him in a heartbeat with Max if the opportunity arises, probably what is fuelling his desperation. Idiot though to pick fights with Max because that is not a battle he will ever win.
Useless video which demonstrates nothing. And the point discussed is the move of Verstappen inside the driving line just when Russel is arriving. If you don't speak of that you're part of the noise and disinformation, you're not making things clearer.

@@fixxa6455 also Lando is just as bad, he grassed up Max earlier in the year for a jump start. if any driver can get a head start on another they are going to do it. that's the point. I have no issue with Max, Lando or George, but all 3 plus Ocon all grass, the only one with real integrity is K'Mag and Hammy as they usually don't grass.
@jjharson7344 Totaly differend situation but your answer tells me you don't understand and for sure are not a racing driver.
Most comprehensive video I could find about this, thanks
Dude how hard is it to find a video of the incident on track? 10 videos that just show a picture with a ton of talking
So rivaly are borned gentlemen. But you know Russell is a piece of mug, sorry british fans. ☝️
I'm British, I don;'t care about Russell. I like drivers based on them, no where they're from..
Vanity,egotistic,envious,sneeky,manipulative, 2-faced ,These are the virtues of George Russel
Max is a good driver which Russell will never be and on track Max proves he is a champion.
Russell don't respect anyone in this sport and he will continue to be above himself, just to prove that he is a true replacement for Lewis which will never be.
Max should sign with Mercedes and take George's seat
Mercedes should start building rocketships first again. Also they're not Red Bull. Max wants to stay at his team. Mercedes has quite the air of toxicity that Max doesn't want. Ferrari have better chances of signing him on.
In the end he fixed everything in the race, as he always do and Mercedes punished Russell for this on his first pitstop.
Answer the following questions:
1. Why did Russell do this?
2. Who will benefit?
3. Will Max be Russell's teammate in 2026?
4. Is Russell sure to beat Max?
5. Is there any way to prevent Max from becoming Russell's teammate?
Because he thought he will benefit from it. It also answers second question. NO to the rest, including last question because Max won't be Russell's teammate anywhere.
1 - Because Russel
2 - Mercedes team (read: whoever is the other driver)
3 - Unclear but certainly not Max like some people think
4 - Unlikely, just look at first corner of last race, Russel cant handle Max
5 - That's not happening mate, i don't know who "planted this seed" in the minds of so many fans lately, but Max has a contract until 2028 and keeps saying he loves RB and would never leave them, Toto can jump up and down and offer whatever but it wont change a thing, Max likes RB too much.
@@suicidalbanananana 1. Max's contract has an exit clause (similar to Lewis' contract)
2. The 2026 rule change favors Mercedes (Mercedes' strength is internal combustion engines)
3. Toto made it clear that Max's annual income is no less than $100 million
4. RB's internal struggle has not subsided, which adds uncertainty
Toto said that he will always prefer Max coss of the no nonsense attitude.
@@suicidalbanananana Totally agreed. On 4, if the rumours are true, the Max said he'll get Russell in turn 1...and he did. That'll live in his head for a long time. We'll see if Max destroyed Lando's mindset, but I don't think it will take long to destroy Russell's.
Only Charles might be up for it. And the old guards, Lewis and Alonso
So because Vertsappen races hard he should expect to get rammed every race ? Wtf is that reasoning George…
Verstappen is "dirty". He just throws it up the inside and expects the other guy to give him room. When they don't, he whinges. Lewis stood up to him (Silverstone), had his 8th championship in the bag until Red Bull barracked Massi to give it to Verstappen.
It's not what he says. Please open your brain instead of adding nonsense to nonsense.
@@johnhughes9276if lewis didnt almost kill verstappen in.silverstone or if bottas dis not take out half the grid in hungary then the last race wouldnt even matter, even if so, merc should have pitted for softs just like RB but guess what they wanted track position and thought they were smart. Smh
Russel trying to be Alain Prost but without 4 world championships 😂😂😂😂
Verstappens rivalry with Russel is like Real Madrids rivalry with Accrington Stanley FC
george is like the kid in primary school who thinks he is the teachers pet and favorite...and does everything "necessary" to stay there...
not my type of "racer"...but he seems to fit nicely into totos team...yep....Lewis might be onto something really good going to Ferrari.....especially looking how "things" went for him this year.....haha...
Russell is similar to Albon, good enough to look fast against teammates in Williams, but when he goes in big league he sometimes can show pace but more than not he make misstakes, or do something like crash in Bottas, Alonso etc... just nowhere near Max speed and more important constistancy
And its just something about his presence, the way he talk (diva like) that I just cant stand
Lol deluded fan of Lewis....Slowbon is indeed a joke but Russell is freaking incredible. So you're saying that Shamilton is talentless?
@@Firemarioflower Im Max fan, but Lewis had proved something, even though in todays formula you kinda need fastest car to be champ but you also need focus and champ mentality to actually win it, russell simply doesnt have it
@@valentingrden4831 Russell DOES have it, as he's able to beat faster cars, beat champion drivers and get the current champion nervous.... he's skilled, has got race craft, qualifying pace.
Leclerc's clearly the best. Then comes Verstappen with his double standards and hyopcrisy, but he's phenomenal. Then there's Norris and Russell, who the British media are pandering too now that Lewis is failling ever more.
He will defeat Hamilton again this year and took a commanding win.
All he needs to do is iron out mistakes.
@@valentingrden4831 No, it's the fact that he doesn't back down for the big ego of Maximum Inflatedness.... that's what you can't stand. Many Max fans said that same bulls***** about Lewis, Vettel, Leclerc, Ocon, Gasly and Albon (like you do) and various others that OWNED Max once or made him angry or didn't back down for him.
Dutch fans are so tiresome, there's always ZERO objectivity, they should stick to watching football as they have the same behaviour there which shouldnt'be part of F1..
To them, Max is a god and every other driver that respects him is also seen as a good driver, the rest are horrible and skillless and all sorts of nonsense is written about them....
Sick of that notion
Max DISLIKES Russell now because of his dual tongue/attitude .... hating is pushing a mindset ...
Agreed. It takes a lot of energy to hate someone and Max isn’t prepared to expend that amount of energy on someone he’s indifferent to.
u guys have lost the plot hahaha, this guy is with him everyweek for how long now? im sure by now he can form a opinion and he doesnt hate him. he just doesnt want wanything to do with him, in dutch "rot op" is not that bad, its not fuck off exactly. anyways im sure u know ppl in ur own lives and have a disliking for as they are 2 faced. I think with goerge thats been evident from the start. Max on the other hand has his heated moments but has always said what he means, no bs.
u may think im a max fan boy, i am not.
It's not that he dislikes him, he's weary of him. He's a sneaky weasel with no morals.
Max asking for a space on the outside is ironic. There is no single example he did himself.
It’s straightforward, really. A “slow” lap is meant to be just that-slow. But apparently, George missed that memo and decided to channel his inner speed demon, zooming through a "slow" lap like he’s auditioning for Fast & Furious: Pit Lane Pandemonium.
What does this do? It creates a dangerous situation by driving way (!!) too fast toward the cars ahead of him. Now, this sort of high-octane nonsense ought to be punished, right? I mean, it’s all there in the rulebook-crystal clear, black and white, no room for debate. And guess what? Current and former F1 drivers (English AND non-English, mind you) all seem to agree. But alas, the stewards-masters of plot twists-decide to punish... Max instead.
You can form your own opinion on this circus act, but one thing’s for sure: it’s a one-of-a-kind, debatably bonkers decision that belongs in the F1 Hall of Controversies.
Racing is tough with a lot if "cut n thrust" for advantage. It seems that Max has far more inate skill that allows him to guage more accurately the risks he takes. Whatever the rights and wrongs it does seem that Russell is more than a bit if a diva!!! Worse than that is being a sneaky whiner in front of the stewards while downplaying the event while on camera. Grow a pair buddy!!! If you've something to say, say it consistently. Max for all his faults is consistent. He clearly has buckets more talent as shown by nursing an inferior car to take the World Championship Driver cup. It also seems that MBS's divisive "leadship" is trickling down - time for him to "jog on" and find another sport to f@ck up.
Russel is sneaky, even for outsiders clear to see. They’ve had a couple of issues already on track, and from their off track clashes it’s clear there’s no love lost between the two. It appears that Russel is jealous of Verstappen, hence his earlier laughable comments that he is the one to bring the fight to Verstappen next season. Do the talk Russel? Than walk the walk!
Screwing over your mates is disgusting George
Russel is clearly some kind of Max cargo cultist. You can tell by how he talks in that interview regarding the Baku incident, you get the impression he thinks he's being like Max by driving into people, or when he doubled down on getting Max a bullshit penalty in Qatar.
His steering looked like an exaggeration just so he could argue his case later
Only a bad operator will blame the equipment
En als het Lewis was……. Geen penalty
Yeah, this Russel is a big guy in F1...😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
I told you all before now Max knows
I think George is right in his attitude. It is not being Mr. Nice like Lando Norris that he will be able to beat Max one day. It is all mind games against Max and he managed to get under his skin this time.
And where did it get him? Out of the lead in the first corner, because that is what you get from getting under Max’s skin. He’s at his best when you put him down.. So yeah, great minds games George. Such a smart guy!
perhaps it is because George tells the truth, its why he is the driver's rep in F1 Driver association
Not a fan of Russell. But Max plays hard and loose so can’t complain when others play hardball on track. Being two faced is something else though. Totally understand Max’s response to Russell’s deliberate actions to milk a penalty.
Max is not mad about Russell complaining on the radio, ALL DRIVERS DO THAT! He is upset about Russell being two-faced! Not to even mention NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN PENALIZED for that, but Max was because Russell put in a real dramatic performance in the stewards office.
@ Yes I know.
I really don't like Russel as well so we're in the same boat max
I guess Wolfe previously stating "we'd rather cheat & win, rather than be legit & last" it's rubbed off onto Karen Russell although he's always been cocksure but a t wat
Whoever grew Russel in the lab should add a personality to the next version….. and the ability to stop crashing 😂
What is the usual penalty for "impeding" when both drivers are on a cool-down lap? nothing. Because it's not a penalty situation. The Stewards just made up a one-place grid penalty on the fly to placate Mercedes. When Checo got a one place grid penalty in 2020, it was for a collision in FP2. When Hulkenberg got a one place grid penalty in 2016, it was for using the wrong tyres. I can find NO examples of drivers getting penalized for "impeding" when both drivers were on a cool down lap. Russell was told of Max's position, and still cried about it.
2:13 That stupid beeping. There is war on TV each day, we have racism etc. But noooo, when someone says DICKHEAD, we must be protected. Hearing a word like that is the worst thing we can ever experience in our lives!
What you call "racism" usually amounts to little more than namecalling, as well. You've just been conditioned to believe that type of namecalling is on the level of war and bloodshed lol.
@@Adeon55 You're a funny guy!
George Jekyll and Hyde
The delta argument is nonsense. He immediately went into 1st gear right after passing Max. Losing respect like that is not worth it. Embarrassing tactic at such a high performance level.
Worst-case scenario: Max ends up at Mercedes in 2026, but he has a few conditions. One of them is that he doesn’t want George Russell as a teammate. As a result, Mercedes lets George go, and he possibly ends up back at Williams, potentially marking the decline of his career.
Special Treatment for British drivers
He was right on the racing line and I'm pretty sure he would have done the same to George had he been in the way.
Well, Russel had his win pissed on by Max winning the world championship on that race... As DC said in the Vegas GP, "i never watched a gp back, incidents yes, to see who was at fault, but watching a race i was in, would be very egocentric" ..... Betcha Russel watched the race back.. twice. Even Hamilton didn't want to sit next to his teamm8 in the limo to the podium. XD
03:05 That's hard racing George, losing control of your car like that, really something to be proud of! Stand up for yourself! Wow!
Max was just chillin on the race line...
Interesting, for the actual incident Verstappen was in the wrong as he was going slow on the racing line - regardless of how much notice Russell had. That being said, Max is always consistent and honest... sometimes brutally honest which can work against him but always seems honest. Whereas Russell is all smiles and nicely spoken with his British accent but snakey.... with the sidepod issue he could have said "Sorry dude, cold tyres, it was ambitious" but nope, no apology.
Money inflates their Ego's
Interesting video, thank you.
so funny that once max was targeted lewis ike that. and now he is being targeted by the others.
totally different approach by drivers , answers etc.
i think its about being grown personality
When did max say he hates George?
2:05 "U always have to leave an space"
Max giving Alonso vibes and I love it
Leave Russell alone you guys,max too talks a lot.
It's one thing to be an a**hole when you're fighting for a championship, but if you're not in the title race, it just makes you look silly and petty. I understand when people step on each other's toes where there's a Championship on the line, but if you're sitting 6th or 8th in the standings, your focus should be on improving your own performance, not messing with someone else's title fight.
Yeah that was pretty poor of Russel in qualifying and yep I agree the guys a snake but I did laugh and thought how ironic Max telling another driver "you got to leave space" 🤣
Thank goodness Ver is a thoroughly decent guy.
Greta, great video
Uk guy being an uk guy 🤣🤣🤣
Russell thinks he's too good before he's good. Look how he's dresses so slick not a hair out of place like a doll he worried how hes looks too much.
All respect for George was lost when he he did that sissy slap at bottas at Imola a few yrs ago.
He is not a championship material driver.
2:54 old mate in the mirror on the left isn't having a bar of George's twattle 😂 seems like even his own team finds him insufferable
Its probably more surprising that he had any respect for anyone in the first place...
Russell is a tattletail
george aint wrong. it aint til recently we've seen max not drive like a prick. mayB it was the car struggling but we all wanna see max drive like he has at the end of this season
Russel is a whiny little weasel that causes accidents and then gets on the blower to explain how it was unavoidable for him and the other driver caused it.
just look at the onboards from Qatar 2024, russel had Max in his sights for at least 3 corners but chose to accelerate up to the back of him to cause an incident.
George has decent race craft, still complains and what not. But outside of racing, you can clearly tell he has that two faced face.
Stop being friends with all the Drivers. It makes Me feel like the race is predetermined. And a popularity contest.
George is an immature cry baby … 😢
Russell has the eyes of Smeagol. Guess makes sense
russell has chickpeas eyes.
And the list is 100x longer why people hate max 😂
Nope.
People dont hate Max.
England hates him.
He is Dutch and he is the world champion.
That's why.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Russell has seriously screw-up Mercedes since his arrival.
This 2-face guy have no special race craft and he's simply bluffing his way in this top team...!!!
We all have to leave a little bit of space! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I bet more racers like George than max.
...now everyone asks as if this is new behavior from Russell
Dude literally disrespects Lewis and the team all the time.
george is like harvey dent
Merc have been sabotaging king George and favouring Lewis for years , Goerge is King
Well at least he did'nt steal a championship off hamilton
George Russell trying to explain why he is pathetic trying to backstab to get on the podium
He just exposed himself, still lots of his countrymen will need a UK driver on the top step for health reasons
W T F ??
Karen Russel
I dont like treacherous people and Russell is one to avoid. It is very clear that he manipulated the whole situation. That is not what F1 racing is about. What a snake.
max the guy that moves under braking, get positition outside the track blaims Osama bin Russel for beeing twofaced?
ROFLOL
And you guys have only just realised this.he was a arogant twat at williams then got even worse at merc. remember how he was jabbing his finger at bottas was he was still in the cockpit after a crash??????
I more exicted for a Russell/Verstappen Title fight than a Leclerc/Verstappen Title fight
RedBull can't count to 5.
@@AvocadoAfficionadoRussel can't count to 1. 🤣
A little bit more spice just got sprinkled on 2025!
That won't happen unless Mercedes suddenly builds a rocket ship for next season and RB doesn't get their act together at the same time. In equal cars, Woody is no match.
@@duncani3095 🤣🤣 true
OK George is a creep, max was right when Russel was a creep, and pointed him out.
But.. come on.. max pushes people off the track like there is no tomorrow.
What are max´s excuises? "Its the otehr guys fault..." every time. So yeah its a race driver thing, not a Russel or Max thing.
🤮
George is so pathetic and desperate. Shame he will never actually fill Lewis’ shoes. Trying too hard to be recognised. Toto will also replace him in a heartbeat with Max if the opportunity arises, probably what is fuelling his desperation. Idiot though to pick fights with Max because that is not a battle he will ever win.
0:44 and the Oscar’s goes to… nah, bad acting.
Russell also caused a big crash in England on hard tires. No one blamed Russell… But he caused it 100%
Useless video which demonstrates nothing. And the point discussed is the move of Verstappen inside the driving line just when Russel is arriving. If you don't speak of that you're part of the noise and disinformation, you're not making things clearer.
Max has more championships than Russells race wins 🗿

I love George, he is one of the few who can draw out real vitriol from people which is a true skill and much needed in the F1 paddock. I’ve always found his prim school boy demeanor a caricature and I suspect he has a sense of irony behind. He is also handsome and a heartthrob for all kinds of fans. Truly a consummate gentleman, competitor and I hope future champion. Hats off to ya George!
I hope this is sarcasme
