Guys if you see the clip of George's radio from Sky Germany going around, do not believe the people saying that Toto can be heard insulting George in German

I hate Toto as much as anybody else but this is not true. Only 3 people are heard in that clip, George himself, and the two commentators that sided with him. Toto cannot be heard, in German or otherwise

I watched this live and tried to listen to the clip endless times to get why people are claiming this but there is nothing

Don't fall for fake news

[georgegraphys]

It has come to my attention that some people called George "begging" for a seat when it was literally Mercedes who did that?

George WAS OFFERED a place in an F3 European team after the presentation with Toto. It was Mücke Motorsport based in Berlin (not mentioned here) and he went on a testing with them. But GEORGE REJECTED THEM and OPTED to race for VOLKSWAGEN powered Carlin. He later said in this interview that he felt like he will be able to learn more with VW's British team than Mercedes'. It was spot on because VW finished higher than Mücke ever did (9th highest afaik). He basically took a leap of faith and decided to stay true to his decision.

He later had a test with BMW DTM and placed fastest even amongst professional BMW DTM drivers that BMW immediately offered him a six-figures contract but an ex-BMW employee told Mercedes about George and Mercedes basically came running back while "threatening" and gaslighting a financially vulnerable teenager with remarks like "closing their doors on him" while asking him to drop everything, offering the shittiest gamble ever, and blocking him towards any further contacts with BMW and probably also VW with how he moved from VW to Mercedes' Hitech.

Mind you, the BMW stint is very real and acknowleged by BMW driver, Tom Blomqvist who said that George is faster than the other guys by more than half a second and adapt to the car very fast. George's picture is still in BMW Group's media page btw.

George NEVER BEGGED for Mercedes. He just basically cold emailed Toto just like anyone applying for jobs would. It was in fact Mercedes who CAME TO HIM TWICE and both times are with shitty offers. The second time was even more outrageous.

Shut the fuck up and piss off if you know nothing lol. Glaze your fuck ass nepo babies drivers all you want. But piss off if you don't know what you speak off. Idiot fucks these people are.

Drivers don’t just suddenly forget how to drive.

George was one of the most consistent drivers last season. He completed 99.9% of the laps. The fact the team had him so convinced he and his driving was the problem is utterly horrific.

George’s interviews this race rlly put it into perspective. The one crushing him and his confidence is Mercedes. They had one of their drivers on the verge of tears in the media pin and still could only half take responsibility.

[russilton]

Bruh you know how bad it’s got to be that Damon Hill is calling out the cars not being the same? DAMON

[georgegraphys]

Two thing I must say

1. The constant Toto Wolff implicit portrayal of George Russell as if he is mentally challenged or depressed through endless "he is not confident" statements are concerning. It's like him trying to rewrite George's character as a whole to excuse whatever "misfortune" is happening. Putting out such narrative about his own driver is not his first. In the past, he tried to portray George as an introvert or make it seem like George didn't believe on himself despite George saying the complete opposite.

2. The lack of regards Mercedes has towards George Russell's safety is VERY alarming. Continuously letting him drive with such faulty internal components in his car and making no improvement when heavy risk and consequence relating to George's safety and wellbeing is highly present all the time. This is not the first time in years that they decided to ignore and not be transparent of the technical problem happening. Will they not learn unless a bad thing happen?

This is honestly concerning and there is no way this team provides a healthy workplace environment. It is not about the championship anymore. It is just pure ignorance and disregard because currently they are on their high horses. Whether or not you believed some kind of race fixing/sabotage is happening, this is a careless dangerous manipulative behaviour exhibited by a team who is led by an incapable unprofessional leader.

If this continues, this can be very dangerous. And up until now? They don't seem to be alarmed by the failures that has happened to George regardless of the big risk right in front of their eyes. Which makes it more concerning. Disgusting behaviour.

Longer is the downfall from the highest horses.

And the exodus has already started. Toto has transformed mercedes in rbr.

Adding on point 1:

Toto’s vindictive behaviour towards george needs to be studied because seems to me he’s got a chip on his shoulder towards him since forever and I really cannot comprehend if it’s just general antipathy because he cannot control george fully or jealousy because george is a better leader, driver and person than he will ever dream to be

[63-era]

I cannot tell you how dangerous today was, fucking dangerous, now I don't give two shits how you feel about George, but we have lost enough people in this sport that you need to open your eyes and see how dangerous today was. This isn't the uwu championship of precious baby boys going round a track.

Mercedes have left a driver in a dangerous position because of their incompetence, and all they have managed to do is gaslight that driver and tell him there is no problem. That is not acceptable, they need to be held accountable.

And if we take them at their word, and this is an issue on all Mercedes cars then why the fuck are any of them out there because this could be any of them being put in a dangerous position.

This isn't a fucking game, this is just stupidity now.

2026 BELGIAN GP : DNF

GR 🗯️ : I'M OUT, WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED WITH THE SOC DOWN THE STRAIGHT, I HAD NO FUCKING BATTERY! Guys. Unacceptable. Un-fucking-acceptable the whole weekend.

[jusst-you-race]

gunna be honest the sky team showing Toto a video of George being swamped on the straight and saying “well clearly he doesn’t have straight line speed as you can see here” multiple times

only for Toto to waffle some bullshit like “we all make mistakes sometimes” or “George knows the team backs him 100%” or “all of the Mercedes engines are struggling” or “these regulations just don’t suit every driver’s style” or “we are always trying to do better” or “last race we failed Kimi” …..

it’s just this complete and utter refusal to acknowledge that George’s car has an issue that is directly causing him to be slower than Kimi, and the refusal to take accountability for that, COUPLED WITH his immediate rolling over and apologising as soon as something goes wrong for Kimi that’s just really pissing me off

[gargoylegeckooo]

BERNIE YOU LEGEND

(She said that George isn’t being given a fair chance to fight).

[nearmike]

“A dnf for the constructor championship is not perfect”

AND WHAT ABOUT THE DRIVER’S???

Fuck you and your team Torger, not a single instance of taking responsibility, as usual

[nearmike]

Lewis and Charles deserve it more anyway, so 🤷🏻‍♀️

George Russell on Canal+

[russellius]

2026 BELGIAN GP : DNF

GR: No battery, no power, frankly it was dangerous, when I got to the top of Eau Rouge, I had zero, zero battery. I was going slower than a Formula 2 car and I got overtaken by three drivers. So that's what I was more angry about. (..) Something needs to change. What happened now in the race now is another problem, a separate problem. I got to turn 1 and the battery just stopped charging. Why? We don't know.

[georgegraphys]

George Russell did not have a DNF in 2025. He completed 99.9% of the lap.

It was NEVER about skill issues.

George Russell comfortably won Australia and led everything in P1 up until China qualifying.

It was NEVER about driving styles.

Falling into the idiotic recency bias or narratives fed by Toto is simply uneducated low comprehension behaviour. Go watch the fucking race. Had he not been comfortable with the car, he would've not won anything from the start. But somehow, since China, every race week is an unexplainable issue again and again stems from the teams' incompetency that even the word "natural bad luck" does not make any fucking sense anymore.
