Full episode here: ruclips.net/video/PkLfAdo3vx4/видео.html 😍 What do you think of George's mentality? 🔥
A role model and the future of F1.
Outstanding. I work with young people and George is one in a million. He has incredible resilience, patience and intelligence. Can't wait to listen to the full episode.
@@Tgirl65able The listening full was brillant.
I could be his father, considering the age gap but I've learned something from this young and also a great man: "Readjust your expectations but not your goals!". This young man is going places, that's for sure and I'll enjoy to see it happen.
💯 agree. I am almost double his age. I have learnt a lot about mindset from him to be honest and it's currently helping me tackle some unknown territories and new paths I would normally not...super proud of him. He is so misunderstood by some, I think because of his level of maturity and thinking. They are not there and ready to understand him. Sad, they think he is snobbish and think highly of himself. Instead he is classy and doesn't waste time with things that are not constructive.
@@f1greenlight finally someone said it. i agree with you
not sure he "forecast" those results.
And now George has a win under his belt before Lando and Albon!!!!
and deservedly so. hes a better driver than both of them so its justice
Albon is never going to get a win.
In a car clearly faster than both of theirs
@@LandoNoWins99 Arguable, Russell and Lando are on the same level from my point of view.
@@SmarkySmarkz yeah that’s kinda true from what I can see from 2022.
He is just class thru and thru. I wasnt a fan of him at the beginning of the season but he has genuinly turned me around and is now my favorite driver next to Charles. He is a machine and will be a worldchampion.
Same as me, i was sceptical at the beginning of the season as a Lewis fan since 07, but he is just class and im now a big big fan, even bought some GR63 merch at COTA. Future worldchamp for sure 👍🏼
I must admit, I've gone the other way. It's not criticism or reflection of his performance, something that's hard to put a finger on beyond not gelling with his personality and finding his insights very original or compelling.
Polar opposite personality to lando, fascinating. One thing for sure he is a perfect fit for merc as opposed to rb or McLaren.
Delusional.
Horrible personality and almost no real interpersonal class. He’s a spoiled little rich kid who wants everything handed to him. “He just fully turned into me”
I love how George, Lewis and Toto are always talking about the 800 to 1200 people who's jobs are dependent on the team's performance
It is a good mindset to have, since they are only where they are due to the performance of the entire team.
when george is at the front of the grid, it looks so natural. i can't wait to see what's in store for him in the next few years
Thats why he is so consistent and fast, he was training for it, imagining the days that would come, every single lap, every race, risking it all, now its paying off!
His maturity and mentality are off the roof, he's a true inspiration to me.
The first point he said makes so much sense, the spotlight wasn’t on him and he had the chance to take more risks and try things.
The 'toolkit' he developed around Monaco sitting at p19 came to his rescue on the last 11 laps around interlagos when Sir Lewis was hounding him to keep his record. Brilliant stuff
The only tool kit was Crashtappen.
@@MagicAyrtonforeverYep. Verstappen said after the race that he took the chance of victory away from Hamilton with that move. Happy for George but man do I hope Lewis wins in Australia
@@MagicAyrtonforeverif you look at the contact in Brazil and blame it on Verstappen you’re not looking at the same crash as the rest of the world. He was completely inside of the corner, and full alongside Hamilton when the contact happened. I don’t even like Verstappen but it wasn’t on him
@@ParCBur So then you would also say Max's crash with ocon in 2018 was Max's fault too right?
@@bsfjsadlkash2234 extenuating circumstances, when Ocon is a lap down, his duty to unlap himself is to do it in a non-compromising fashion.
i respect him so much cant wait to see him as world champion
Never seizes to amaze me how switched on this lad is. Listening to the way he talks, composes himself at such a young age is crazy to me.
Such a pleasure to listen to this well grounded young man. Well done for getting the best out of him High Performance!
George is such a fucking gem. The best out of all the youngsters in f1.
Facts
Don't swear. Kids are watching
Piastri is
Future worldchamp, oozes class.
@T S no he doesn’t
@T S so ? Ayrton was like that Michael was like that what you said is nothing to do with snobbery
@T S are you kidding me about Michael and ayrton. Michael was gonna punch David coulthard in Belgium 98 called Bruno senna an idiot when it was michaels fault be quiet mate. Ayrton used to hate Alain Prost and slag him off. Just shush
@T S it’s not about politics every driver is in the sport for themselves not team mate. If driver 1 can get an advantage over driver 2 then so be it. It’s the name of the game
George you are a genuine masterclass. So glad you are in the Merc now and driving next to the legend himself. Can't wait to see you guys in '23. That Monaco story was brilliant. Cheers!
agreed
Love his mentality 👏 What a racer
Future champion 100%
That ability to reframe the mindset is the key! The game is won or lost at that point.
A future world champ for sure.
yes
No lol
@T S yes he can beat max rn
@@shakmarriott4820 If Mercedes come out with a title contending car I agree I think he can dethrone max. His junior career was probably the best of all the current drivers and if he can perform anything like he did in sakhir 2020 he will have that championship. This year cars built were a massive gamble for all teams because there was no data which is why the grid shuffled up a lot. I think now Mercedes are the team with the most data given the massive range of things they seemed to try in all the practise sessions.
Hahahaha 🤣. The same guy who cried like a bitch when the rain won him a podium in Spa without racing a lap?
Always been a George fan since f2
I have been His fan since GP3 in 2017❤
What I really love about F1 is the thoughtful and articulate manner in which most of these drivers communicate.
Here's hoping that Indycar will continue to attract international drivers with such talent and character.
So matured altitude and an amazing growth mindset. He will fight for wdc one day I am sure.
Fascinating! Looking forward to watching the rest on Monday
This is so profound. I'm so happy for George and where he is now.
Honestly.. what a guy.. he really is a true great role model.. all class
Mature head on that young mans shoulders
I believe he has the potential to become one the greatest of all times. And if he works along with Lewis, and especially tries to learn, and emulate how Lewis works, and amalgamates with the team, he can even surpass Lewis. Mercedes is the most complete team on the grid, and their salvage of 2022 season is a standing testament to that, one of the cardinal distinction has been that their drivers amplify, and embody the idea of racing for the team. I hope George adjusts well in the team, and achieves great things.
I wholeheartedly agree.
Mercedes AMG is the full premium package plus all DLC. Every single person is integral to the whole F1 program working or failing. Every unfortunate strategy choice that didnt work is evaluated and genuine adaptations to overcome said unfortunateness makes the whole team stronger every time..
Mercedes seems to be the only team presently that listens to any team members idea or criticisms. They seem to hungrily seek that new frontier to maintain their dominance.
Craziest part is it ALWAYS looks and sounds genuinely bonafide whenever Lewis tours the factory or a cameraman catches footage of crew interactions. It would be easy to just act as if the team culture is so well woven, it just doesn't ever seem fake is what i think is closest correct term.
Mercedes does their Monday morning pitwall videos and openly analyzes sometimes REALLY brutal criticism from armchairs team principals. That very excercise quiets naysayers, explains failures along with the reasons why the failed choice was initially taken and ultimately shows specifically what weaknesses they need work on. Oftentimes that pitwall vid is saying "so the strategy was suboptimal, but the drivers are big D bossmen and they made it work. Here's why we almost didn't win."
It's amazing to see, even though Im kinda taking it on faith that the Mercedes F1 te culture is so proactively forward thinking. No blame games, which allows all individuals a safe space to criticize themselves. Yet when that happens, especially on race day we all see the feed of the entire Merc garage supporting a mechanic after wheelgun failure or something.
It's a incredibly difficult work culture to achieve, has to be molded slowly and methodically but damn if Mercedes aint got to the final polishing point by now.
That entire hive mind style management and work environment leaves space that is neutral to present problems and then gather a variety of really smart peoples ideas together and try the eventual best combined idea.
That's why i think Mercedes aint gonna be just done with winning cuz this year was probably a very difficult slog for them all.
I think Mercedes will hit on some fiercely gorgeous engineering and drop the veiny, meaty, championship winner snausage right at old Chrissy-boy Horner's door this 2023 season.
Even if Merc dont win, some more hard but fair and legal wheel to wheel racing will satisfy me regardless. I feel the battles have been rather intense here last 3 seasons.
@@threadtapwhisperer5136 You have very aptly described, why Mercedes has dominated the F1 during the hybrid, and will most likely continue to do so. It seems like Mercedes is the only team on the grid, that truly encapsulates the idea of F1 being a team sport. Toto Wolff didn’t make any promises with George Russel, until Valtteri Bottas was able to find a spot for 2022. And there are plethora of other examples that highlight the work-culture of Mercedes, and how it factors in their performance. Toto is running it like a well oiled machine, and I don’t think so anyone could have done a better job.
@@threadtapwhisperer5136 eloquently said, lol at big d bossmen
Well rounded young man.
Good luck to him.
I have enjoyed hearing about George Russell life changed at Monaco grand prix think is great young British F1 like how his family support him with career and them with Lando Norris.
Great clip, great pod. Keep it up chaps
George Russell seems like the guy who would enjoy recording a podcast
Good stuff -- looking forward to the full episode. Thank you for the great content!
Ture
I'm a Max fan but I'm never disappointed when George, Charles or Lando win and do great.
I don't like him as a person, but got to admit he's an excellent driver, really passionate and focused, admire his dedication and was really nice to see his first F1 win
really well done, guys!
Going to be so difficult watching these next few seasons there’s about 6 or 7 different drivers I want to see win a championship, George is definitely one of them
really nice interview this with George, he comes across brilliantly🚀
So ture agree 👍
him max charles and lando are the future
Mercedes future is in his hands, what a bright well spoken person. Definitely a future world champion, maybe even before charles.
Monday cant come quick enough!
Great driver and an even greater man, future world champion
He's so fucking smart I love it
i love this guy
Unfortunately The people that NEED to see this wont, to obsessed with Blowing up their driver than learning about how great this young man is.
Who are the people that need to see this. If you are talking about Lewis fans. Most of us know George is great what we dislike is people putting Lewis down because George outscored him in his first season. When a lot of the younger drivers say they learned a lot from Lewis. Tunsonda said a lot of them watch the lines Lewis takes and have learned a lot from it. That is all Lewis fans wany is recognition and to say yes George is great but so is Lewis. Not Lewis was never great because here comes this young gun who himself said he has learned from Lewis beat him.
@@brownbabyuk10 I think he means all of his haters, people that don’t really know much about him. People who only dislike him because he’s in a Mercedes now. Unfortunately that’s just how it is sometimes, people start hating a driver or coming to conclusions without even knowing anything about them
Its such a great experience he is learning from Lewis Hamilton too. Future world champ in the making and he wont need to cheat to get there like the current red bull team
You can kind of tell all the young ones are taking a lesson out of Hamilton’s book. Even verstappen. They realize consistency is more important than outright speed. We all have Nikki lauda to thank for that tho.
@@weignerleigner3037 The Verstappen who couldn't wait to overtake so crashed into Hamilton and demoted himself? That one?!
And now he’s a Grand Prix winner. Shows what happens if you keep persevering.
So why is this not a 5 hour interview ?! Soooo interesting and nice to hear !!! I would even subscribe then :-)
I would live to see him talking in depth about the one abu dabei Mercedes race he had replacing Lewis
if you would love to watch a 5 hour interview and you cant watch this segment where at the end of it clearly says full episode coming monday, i dont know what to tell you lol
edit: even the comment from the channel it self says that
I’ve been following the HAAS saga this racing season. I’m a fan of Mick Schumacher. What I’m hearing in this segment is a driver going through the development process. It seems to me that a young driver has to push the boundaries to know where they are. As George explains here he wasn’t under intense pressure to get points and he could simply measure his progress against himself. We see now how that experience has paid dividends now that he is in a more competitive machine. What HAAS did to Mick was not only unfair to a young driver but self defeating as a racing team. HAAS is a poor team on the track, in the paddock, and at managing personnel. George is a quality individual and deserves the success he is achieving. I hope that Mick gets back behind the wheel and shows how big a mistake HAAS made sacking him.
I look forward to his first World Championship.
best driver ever you will be champion one day
yes love this you got a SUB from me
Is there any chance you can start to put the video on Spotify as well of your podcasts?
What a class act,i had flashbacks of Damon ❤
top man
This kid is unbelievable! Remember how big a deal people made of Hamilton's achievement of leveling points with a two time champion in equal machinery back in '07?
Hamilton has been the clear Driver no.1 at Merc for atleast 7 years. Statistically the greatest of all time! For a new kid to just walk in and beat a 7 time world champion and that too Hamilton in Mercedes by 35 points in his first year is absolutely incredible!
I love George but lets remember that the whole point differences was because Lewis was the one with the experimental car and all the tests were being done with his car and not George’s
You're an idiot if you rationalise it in that way.
You ignore all context & just look at the end result & summarise that he must be better than a 7x world champion.
You don't mention the fact that he had something like almost a 50 point lead after 6 races because Hamilton was the guy running experimental setups to try & resolve the issues with the car.
You don't talk about how Russell was behind Hamilton ,& would've finished behind Hamilton in 4 of the first 6 races..
But incredibly lucky safety car timing not only saved his race, but actually GIFTED him position over Hamilton either outright on track, or by being able to get brand new tyres for a free pitstop & have the gap closed, so that he was right behind Hamilton who's on old tyres.
That happened 5 times in the season, 4 times in the first 6 or 7 races.
He was outperformed by Hamilton after race 7 of the season, & outperformed pretty thoroughly tbh. He was outqualified badly & on average around 2 tenths slower than Hamilton on outright pace.
Why don't you try watching the races for once in your life & factoring context into things. There's nothing more annoying in F1 than people that conveniently ignore context so they can portray the narrative they want to portray.
@@enthusiastlot9365 Agreed.LH was running test set ups. But If a year ago someone told me a kid during his first year at Merc would even come close to beating Hamilton, it would have been considered mighty impressive. George just did the unthinkable! Beat Hamilton and that too by 35 points. To finish in the top 5 in all but 2 races is remarkable consistency. It's that consistency that didn't allow LH to blitz past Russell in the second half of the season, even when LH was arguably quicker
@@WildfireX Never did I say LH was slower. I am saying the result is remarkable. Of course George was lucky and LH was running test setups! Of course George was slower than Hamilton during the second half of the season! That doesn't take away from the fact that Russell's performance was incredible! Valteri or most drivers on the grid would still have not beat LH if they had got the same opportunity that George got at Merc this year. It's obvious that LH is head and shoulders above Russell as a driver, but in this particular season Russell matched Hamilton and with luck he beat LH. Anyone who can even briefly compete with Hamilton needs to be appreciated, that's how good LH had been!
A 7 time world champion in the form of LH in 2022 is far superior a driver to a 2 time champ in the form of Alonso in 2007, who had 6 years experience in F1 then.
Hence Russell beating a veteran Hamilton who has 15 years experience in F1 is a equally remarkable achievement.
You can argue the case that beating a 2007 Alonso was harder than beating a 2022 Hamilton, but that means you admit to the fact that Alonso in 2007 was a superior driver to the veteran LH of 2022.
You can bring up context again, but then we have to talk about the context of Hamilton's 07 season with Alonso as well.
Context matters! But not as much as the final Result! ( At least in sports )
Any further addition of context wouldn't diminish the achievement of both LH in '07 and Russell in '22!
Hamiltons 2007 much more impressive. No debate.
In 2007 they had a championship winning car. This year they had the 3rd best car and whether one is in front of the other one doesnt really matter.
Plus in 2007 Hamilton was genuinely quicker than Alonso whereas this year George definitely wasnt quicker than Lewis.
so is one of the requirements for becoming a mercades driver being a world class motivational speaker? Like god damn.
Money and Talent! Money talks!
Smart attitude…Avoided the question at 9:10 but overàll pretty smart.
Next level. This guy battered Hamilcar in his first Mercedes season.
I hope he will be world champion one day
why isn't the full episode on Spotify???
It premiers on Monday.
crazy that George was the first to win amongst Alex and Lando
When is the whole
Thing out
Monday
The coat George has on tho🤩 Can we know who dressed him?
If I was George I’d feel a little slighted by Mercedes, they keep him in that Williams all the way until they don’t have a competitive car anymore, he’s been waiting for that seat to challenge for a WDC, but as soon as he gets that chance the car is no longer the best…
It must be so frustrating to know you’re a better driver than someone but they beat you week in week out because of better machinery.
Let's cut to the chase. Knowing that you may spend a few years at Williams but that you will race for Mercedes is enough to endure the struggle.
Norris may be more popular, but I always knew that Russell was better than he and Albon etc
I think George will be able to fight for the championship with Max and Charles in the soon future(next couple seasons)
No
@@tuckermthrfckr7 Sucks to be you lol
its funny to me how people seem to think anyone can be in f1 you need money you need skill and most of all you need luck or your dad knows a back door into the f1 company pay bank to make sure you get in but then even they dont stay
George “I finished ahead of my team mate” Russell 😂😂
Big move!!
beat the goat in his first season not bad
That's what happens when the "goat" isn't in the best car. Russell has been used to fighting in sub par machinery, he was always going to beat Hamilton when the car isn't the fastest on track. Hamilton has never been in a 3rd place car.
Now he's a grand prix winner and Lando and Alex are not!
well that's a misleading thumbnail of Micks wreck at Monaco
best lipstick in Mens Formula 1
I'm just guessing, but I bet his goals for this season after it was obvious the car wasn't the best was to win a race and beat his teammate.
Russell is the only non-champ to have beaten Hamilton, in same team, without winning the championship.
the real reason why russel beat hamilton in the first half of the ssn is bc russel is used to driving a trash car
Tf is he on about? Kubica was 2 places ahead of him in Monaco, even jumping one of the Alfas at the start, before Giovi divebombed him and spun both cars.
4:29 even after knowing that he made a comment on Mick in Singapore GP
It was not even meant like negative but Ok
And this was done before Singapore
crikey!
Now albon is in williams and McLaren is crap.....
He’s like a lawn chair……….easily folds under pressure 😂
They kept him away from that car because he would be faster than crashstappen, and daddy didn't want that for his kid...
What a terrible microphone
He is a speaker ... not a performer.
How selfish
What ?
Zanfort?
George has potential, but he needs to stop taking people out
When did he do that ?
"I think i've always had a rational view of things" what waffle. I'm sure all the people he's blamed for crashed that he alone caused would say otherwise.
Dude has crashed into people and ruined many races this year and has taken 0 responsibility for almost every incident. I have 0 respect for him until he realizes that he isn’t the only person on the grid. I will commend him for beating his fraud team mate though.
Hw crashed into people and ruined their races ? Where it was only His fault expect Singapore ?
@@km4075 France, Austria, Austin, Silverstone, Singapore multiple times
Fraud? The only fraud is crystappen ‘give me my p6 😭’ 🤣😂😂
@@maxverstappen7160 don’t act like your golden boy goat isn’t the same. Never knows when to yield when his car isn’t dominant. Loves just crashing into others
@@AZBCDEE
Summary of Lewis’ 2022 Season:
1. Contact with Alonso in Miami
2. Contact with KMag in Spain
3. Contact with Ocon in Monaco
4. Reckless crash with Alonso in Spa
5. Contact with Carlos in Zandvoort
6. Contact with KMag again in Monza
7. Contact with Carlos again in Singapore
8. Dangerous driving in Mexico and Miami while racing his team mate
9. Reckless crash with Max in Brazil that ruins Lewis’ chance to podium / win
Wow isn’t that crazy that Max’s only crash all 2022 is with Lewis? Very interesting how when Max and Lewis aren’t racing each other, Lewis still has a disaster season full of contact? I really wonder who was the problem in 2021????
I actually feel bad George went to Mercedes when they absolutely fell apart lol, but he seemed like a dick to Lewis, so I'm glad he's in a shit box and Lewis is headed to Ferrari to become the hero of Italy.
Such an awesome driver George. Winning a race in that shitbox of a car and beating a 7 time WDC in his first year in a new team. Amazing
George Russell you’re a greedy man. Why are u not saying Lewis sacrifice his race to develop that car
He did not sacrifice, no driver will "sacrifice" let alone LuLu. Stop that superlame excuse.
@@hamzterix yeah dude these LH fans simply don't wanna accept that George bet ham in his first season, so they give these kinds of excuses
@@mkfreestylers name 4 races where george actually had better race pace.
@@jabunoriginal5173 overall, Russell have better tire management = race distance pace = more point in WDC. All that in his first year at Mercedes.
Fact: Russell is a better driver than Lewis in 2022.
Why you LHcultist following him through the internet. Christ !
