It’s not secret that Russell is one of the least like drivers on the grid for quite a few people. From his famous incident with Bottas (which some people still haven’t forgiven him for), public clash with Max, and “poshness”, he really seems to have rubbed people off the wrong way.

That being said, I’ve seen a ton of comments on George related news or posts that will say “I’m not a fan of George but…” or “I don’t like George but…” Even more so, there are comments that believe that the dislike for him isn’t as a driver, but more so as a person with little respect for him and think that this season is Karma for who he is as a person and a driver.

Is there anything that he can do throughout the rest of his career that could even make him tolerable to fans who dislike him? Seems like both Bottas and Russell have left their incident behind them years ago and while Max and Russell still don’t like each other, they at least have some respect for one another. He also hasn’t complained or “lashed out” this season as much as when he was younger so it seems like he’s really matured and been humbled as a whole.

Personally, I would love to see her take some action advocating for improved transit and urbanism. South Carolina is undoubtedly a growing state, yet the state is very car centric. If the state doesn’t start thinking long term, traffic, especially in urban areas, will become even more unbearable.

Greenville, Charleston, and Columbia would be GREAT candidates for fully dedicated bike lines, improved streetscapes (including sidewalks at all roads and burying overhead electric wires), and potentially even maybe getting one of these cities a BRT or Streetcar system.

Simply put, South Carolina CANNOT afford to be left behind when it comes to transit, urban planning, and public infrastructure and I hope soon to be Senator Dr. Andrews can advocate for this in the senate.

On a national level, if she could pull a reverse Fetterman and become a progressive firebrand instead of the relative “Moderate” she’s running under, it’ll be the best vote I ever casted.
