The adoration in his eyes, yes. Fred is the biggest George Russell admirer. I don't think George is aware of the fact that Fred has chosen him as his pseudo-parentš I hope Mercedes will let Fred out more in the future, heās so good and talented.
Every driver has their way with their race engineers and I respect that. For instance, we have Kimi with Bono, who is very experienced and senior in the team. Honestly, I noticed after Kimi asked about George's first purple sector during FP3 Monaco, Bono then told him what george DID to get the purple sector and then we had a fast lap from Kimi, an improvement by knowing what to do with the help of data given by his engineer. The same with all the time Kimi would ask about George and Bono provided George's data to Kimi. Itās good teamwork from that garage, gotta give it to them. Kimi had the opportunity to work with someone ready to help him, with good communication skills, and someone who has a pretty big influence whose words matter to the team.
I know George doesn't like to ask about other people especially Kimiās data because thatās probably not his style but I wonder if george ever asked Marcus about how to improve his sector and did marcus help him with it or Marcus being Marcus only saying āAffirmā āWeāre looking at itā then leave George hanging on the lineš maybe he couldn't provide Kimiās data for a hidden reason or George doesn't want itā¦
But then again weāre talking about the same man who analysed Lando lap, did his thing and pulled P2 out of his ass in Spa 21 in that pitiful Williams so I don't know anymore.
I do not believe in luck. If luck truly governed the world, then fairness would be nothing more than a comforting illusion. What people call āluckā is often the intersection of skill, opportunity, privilege, timing, and the decisions made by those who hold power. Victories are built by hands, not by fate.
And spare me the myth that the world rewards the pure-hearted. History is littered with good people who suffered and cruel people who prospered. Virtue is a measure of character, not a guarantee of reward.
Thereās no luck, Kimi is a talented driver but Iāve seen enough in the history of modern Formula 1 to know skills and talent alone aren't enough to have that kind of constant āluckā he has. Power play and work behind the scenes exist and people would deny it but you would be a naive person to deny it
His teammate, Mercedes engine customers (McLaren, Alpine, Williams) have a problem with their engines but he only has fixable problems.
I donāt believe in sabotage.
Sabotage is messy.
What fascinates me is when problems are distributed with such precision that they stop looking like bad luck and start looking like a DECISION and ORDER.
Why is there so much Rustappen hate going on?? What happened to don't like, don't ship?? And it's mostly coming from Lestappen shippers (and George haters), which is just sad, really. Every time I check the Lestappen tag, there's a Gax hate post. Like.. do your own thing, why are you so obsessed with us??
Because most of them are lecfosi and they care more about RPF ship championship and everything else other than the WDC, and lestappen is the closest for them with WDC related thing

I take everything back, I couldn't find myself to ever like Verstappen, both him and his fans are unbearable and have either a serious victim complex or a god complex
Iāve just been struck by the feeling that George Russell is going to be world champion 2026
I love them and I love how supportive George has been of Oscar this season š„¹ā¤ļø
George Russell my diva
ŃŃŠ°, ŃŃŠ°Š“ŠøŠŗŠø ŃŃŠ»ŃŃ
he's playing kings lynn leisure farm. that's why he looks so locked in #trust
i really dont think i can overstate how annoying im going to be once the season starts. like itās literally going to be gr1 lockdown 24/7 i will not be shutting the fuck up ever.
imagine having a face card so lethal that you mog the entire grid in a potato sack
bonus farmercore! george
George Russell wdc 2026
I respect Max but iām not his fan, i admit he is talented but heās unlikable to me i don't see myself ever liking him in this life and the next life. So send me threats if you want, thatās what his fans are known for and since AD 21 anyway but whatever.
I ship George with everyone including Jannik Sinner and Iām not Jannik's biggest fan either. And people need to learn that itās okay to be like this. I won't be shipping George with people I despise like Stroll. I despise Stroll and have no respect for him. Iām okay with Max most of the time
The media need to up their game this year and ask Max something like this.
āAre you the greatest because youāre Max Verstappen?ā
āOr are you Max Verstappen because you are the greatest?ā
He might answer with āI don't careā but Iām interested to know his answer and the way he answers this. If he can answer with his brain instead of sarcasm to be the world's greatest fake idgaf mf lol
āPeople keep saying George and Max would be throwing hands if the FIA didnāt exist. They couldn't have been more wrong.ā
Disclaimer: This is not a hate post. I like Max, I ship Russtappen, and this is about media power and fandom dynamics, not moral judgment of real people. Or maybe yes about the moral judgment but I don't even know them.
I love Russtappen as a ship, and I like Max. I respect him for his talent. He is talented. But letās be honest for a second: every champion in elite sports has benefited from rule-bending, favoritism, political backing, or outright cheating. Thatās not unique, and itās not shocking. So I genuinely donāt understand why people are still having moral breakdowns over who ādeservedā a championship. If a driver has a team willing to do anything for them and a teammate who plays along, they deserve the title by the standards of the sport. Everyone but Stroll, frankly.
That said, this isnāt about that.
Iām here to debunk the idea that āGeorge and Max would throw hands if the FIA didnāt exist.ā I love Russtappenās dynamic, but my perspective is different from the common fandom fantasy.
They would not fight on camera. Why would they? Physical confrontation is for people without leverage. When you have influence, you donāt dirty your hands, you let others do it for you. This is exactly why Max went to the media instead of turning a press conference into a boxing ring. Heās not the same kid who once threw hands with Esteban. Heās evolved into something far more effective: someone who understands media power and fanbase dynamics.
These are classic tactics borrowed from the entertainment industry and political movements. Power in this world isnāt about who yells the loudest or punches first; itās about influence. In Formula 1, winning titles doesnāt just give you trophies, it legitimizes your behavior. The more you win, the more people excuse, rationalize, or outright deny your flaws. Success becomes moral armor.
Public statements, carefully phrased comments, or even pointed silence can all be weapons. Say just enough, and your fans will fill in the blanks. Sit back, drink your tea, and let the most unhinged parts of your fanbase do the dirty work, harassment, death threats, reputation damage. This tactic has destroyed careers. In extreme cases, it has pushed people to suicide. Some targets survive it; others donāt.
And when things inevitably spiral, there are two flawless exits. You can go silent and adopt the IDGAF persona, which only fuels idolization and reframes any emotional response from your target as weakness or guilt. Or you can apologize, condemn fan behavior, and present yourself as kind-hearted and reasonable. Either way, your image improves. Because in the public imagination, a ākindā person cannot be the villain.
This doesnāt require constant malicious intent. Manipulation isnāt always deliberate. Some drivers are highly strategic. Others simply benefit from systems already tilted in their favor. Power works even when the person holding it pretends not to notice it.
Let me be clear, acknowledging this does not mean hating the driver. It doesnāt negate their talent, their achievements, or why people admire them. It just means refusing to romanticize power. Iām not claiming my favorites are flawless. Iām tired of pretending that winning makes someone morally superior.
What exhausts me most is the holier-than-thou attitude coming from certain 33 fans and 16 fans, as if success equals purity. Welcome to reality. Money and influence are power, and those with power are protected by the systems that benefit from them.
This isnāt unique to Max, George, or even Formula 1. Itās an ecosystem problem. F1 just amplifies it because drivers are brands, teams are corporations, and fans are emotionally invested year-round.
Liking a driver doesnāt mean defending everything they do. And recognizing manipulation doesnāt mean you hate them.
I was right about this!!! Max has the best PR in the grid oh my god call me Cassandra now with the way some people refuse to believe me
His mama is the GOAT for himšš©µ
