The narrative of George "begging for teams" is so funny because the most he did is cold-emailing in F1 and most of the times leading up to his career it's
1. Gwen Lagrue noticed him since karting, almost recruited him to the Lotus Junior Team, gave him a seat at Eurocup Formula Renault, brought him into Mercedes for the second time (even after George rejected them for the first time)
2. Christian Horner name dropping since his F2 years and never moved on
3. Marcin Budkowski saying George should call him if that austrian rat didn't
4. Helmut Marko admitting on missing out on George Russell for Red Bull Junior Team
5. Oliver Oakes saying that Hitech wouldn't be anywhere without George despite him only being there for 1 season and in the equivalent of FRECA
6. BMW immediately offered him a six-figure contract on the table for DTM after going fastest among other drivers and allegedly beating Mercedes and Audi's time
7. First and only junior driver to reject Mercedes and make them come back for the second time for him
8. BRDC changed the rule of BRDC Awards to accomodate his age -> he was too young and he won it
9. Mercedes DTM doubted him in testing and he went quickest the moment he got inside the DTM car
10. Guenther Steiner endlessly compared his drivers to George Russell in 2021
11. "We (Alfa Romeo) got the car but Williams have George Russell" - Xevi Pujolar
12. George Russell in a Williams being a "nightmare" to Ruth Buscombe (Alfa Romeo)
13. Scolded for his approach by Fred Vasseur in F2 and Fred Vasseur later admitted that George was right all along
14. Otmar Szafnauer calling the austrian rat after George sent his presentation and said "I like this kid"
15. Sebastien Philippe (TP of ART) saying he is one of the best talents
Oh but sure we have to believe that George is unwanted just because he is no nepo baby that has papa on his side 24/7 wiping his mouth with baby wipes after crying boohoohoo at the slightest inconvenience
