Might be glazing a little but his race IQ is generational

Like the way he places his car, doesn't think about that first corner, his full focus on how he would come out in the next straight.

Someone actually showed a clip from Malaysia 2012 and he'd apparently done this exact move back then too. This guy is insane

I know people like to hate on him for it, but George Russell's ability to not be caught out by press is genuinely so impressive to me

And no matter what industry you're in, he would be a valuable asset to any agency. He's very intentional with the way he words his responses

The fact that Im hearing about the continuous issues with Georges car from another driver and not the team

Seems they haven't fixed the issue that has been plaguing George since before the summer break. Thankfully he didn't find himself in another Belgium first lap situation.

Amanda clocking that shit from Antonio Lobato

Original post: ❌ Antonio Lobato debunks Fernando Alonso and claims that Newey's chassis is still one of the worst

😳 "It's not just the engine's fault. That car is slow aerodynamically speaking"

👉 In fast corners it ranks it as the 10th team, in slow corners the 9th, and in medium corners the worst

🤷‍♂️ He says Stroll retired due to reliability issues. Even though he himself said it had damage from debris

Amanda Neway's Response: "Who??"

She does not play about her man lol

The scenes if any of this actually happens (in relation to this season)

The P3 and P2 Zandvoort prediction???!!

If we win Monza, I will start to believe again

Possibly one of the best visual shows of Engine vs Chassis

The way the Aston performs on the corners vs the deficit on the straight against the Williams car and Mercedes engine.

Also based on Data, Fernando was the fastest driver through turns 7-9 and the AM was about 6th to 5th Fastest in the corners, sometimes even getting close to 4th.

Will be interesting to see what Honda does in the next few races, as they mentioned how they were not running on full power that they've brought with this upgraded engine

The only Driver to have scored points in Every race at Zandvoort since its return

Only 2 drivers had finished in the points in the 5 races held at Zandvoort since its return to Formula 1 in 2021; Max Verstappen And Fernando Alonso.

After Max's DNF only one stands:

🇪🇸 Fernando Alonso🔥

Most Laps Completed in 2026 and George is no where near the top 8, Mercedes count your days

For context at this point last season he was leading this list with 99% laps completed.

We actually need to go to Brackley and burn that shit down becoz Mercedes are you not ashamed?!!??

Mercedes and their ability to constantly contradict themselves when it comes to George Russell

This is an excerpt from their podcast. And it's not the first time Toto or the team have said something in public that is practically throwing him under the bus, only to go on their official debrief and podcasts (which not many people watch) and backtrack or correct themselves.

Like first they said he's struggling to adapt to the regulations, then they say he contributed heavily to this years development with his simulator work.

George just sitting in his car for a while after parking it

The break couldn't come at a better time honestly. Hopefully he takes his mind of things if or when he goes on vacation.

Ollie Bearman calling the blue flags situation this race a "mess"

Ollie: "That was a tough day. Sorry for the spin in turn 2. Totally caught me off guard"

📻Ronan: "It's p19, unfortunately we got a 5sec penalty for ignoring blue flags"

Ollie: "Oh my god the blue flags were a mess this whole race. Sorry to whoever I ignored"

Honda's Engine upgrade could make or break it for Aston Martin

🔵🟢Alonso Vs Gasly

Practically all the corners go to the AMR26

-30km/h. All the time in the engine

🔴🟢Alonso vs Hulkenberg (getting into Q3)

Minimally worse in the corners. But it's possible that it would come out in favor of the AMR26 with a better engine + package optimization, 20km/h deficit here.

Of course it could be a different story at a different track. But there's definitely promise in their aero package.

On the other side, it also exposes Williams package, because it seems like the Merc engine has really been carrying them and hiding their flaws

Fernando and Baby Leonard in the AM Garage!

Leonard's first race being Hungary and the pivotal moment for Aston Martin. Maybe his presence will serve as a blessing

Fernando Alonso confirms he is staying with Aston Martin next season

That ends all the F1 journalists hopes for an exciting driver market.

u/super_nova_128 — 3 months ago

The driver factor is practically negligible

After exiting Turn 15 (the last corner before accelerating flat out towards Blanchimont), Russell was 0.128s off Antonelli’s time

After passing through that section at full throttle, Russell was 0.513s off Antonelli’s time

In other words, Russell lost 0.385s solely due to the battery while he was doing the exact same thing as Antonelli!

Additionally all the battles in the qualifying are being decided by battery management

In every case, the differences are down to the same thing; not even drivers from the same team reach similar speeds at the end of each straight

George’s post race interview: "The performance wasn’t good enough”

"The performance wasn’t good enough, and if I’m being brutally honest… I’m not gonna fight for a championship if the performances continue like that, so I’m not coming away from this weekend satisfied”

One thing I love about George is how he will always be hard on himself and push to do better. He knows he's lucky to be on the podium and is aware that he needs to do more so that results like this are from doing his absolute best and not just the luck of the draw. Happy for the podium and hopefully things pick up for him soon.
