- So George Russell should have been handed his P45 or REMOVED for his oopsie with Lewis Hamilton - no. Just no.
According to a British sportscar driver, Russell should've been sacked for the incident...where nobody was harmed and Mercedes went on to secure their best result of the season with a double podium thanks to their brand new upgrades. Here's why I think that's unfair and why I'm starting to suspect that the world of Formula 1 is turning its back on George after years of supporting him now that he has realised his dream of driving full-time for Merecedes and Toto Wolff...not to mention that Mercedes think he's good enough for a contract extension to 2025 supposedly.

In fact, Mercedes are eyeing up a contract extension: www.express.co.uk/sport/f1-autosport/1778509/Mercedes-George-Russell-contract-F1-news
I feel that everyone was kind of over exaggerating the incident with Lewis and George, but really it was a simple miscommiunication.
Indeed it was. It was a mistake which mattered not all that much and the team rebounded and got a great result.
over exaggerating 😂 😂
I think George is hilarious.. he’s basically the archetype of a weird, awkward British guy. Seems like a nice dude!
Yeah I think so too. He also seems like a person who wouldn't BS you.
I agree!
i find it funny how people complained about how DTS "made up" a rivalry between Norris and Sainz but here we are
Shows that DTS wasn't the only one doing this.
This is just ridiculous. It was a complete accident. No proper damage was made and in the end they got a double podium. That guy was just an idiot to think that Russell should be fired
And it was good that you mentioned Josh Revell. He's a great F1 TH-camr.
Indeed he is! This whole thing was a misunderstanding.
I sense a lot of this is media & folks blowing it Way out of context for clicks, and... Logical takes like these are why I'm really learning to appreciate what you put out, also having enough playful snark for when the jokes do roll out... Keep it up!
Thanks! This was just a wrong take.
I think Russell's main problem (as someone who liked his driving but thought he was an AI) is that when he was an underdog in a Williams he could get away with having his elbows out and getting aggressive with other drivers because the Williams was quite slow in race trim and he was having to score points for two drivers essentially since Nicky was just there for vibes and money. That aggression turns immediately into punching down though once you're in a top level car like the mercedes so battering a Haas out of your way goes from a fair fight to clubbing a seal. He's never taken responsibility for any of his incidents and with the exception of Hungary 2021 when he told the team to prioritise Latifi (good on him there) he's generally just been meh off track, unapologetic when he gets it wrong and not realising that his situation has changed
I see your point there. It feels like George is a very blunt person who will tell you straight about something and not give you any fluff. Treat you with respect and not sugarcoat something. ACTUALLY, kinda like Max in a way but more British. Hence why it's fascinating to see him and Max argue since they're both the same in that regard.
As a Hamilton fan, This was probubly a miscommunication. Maybe George could've left more space but Lewis could've backed off. Happy to see them get a double podium atleast.
It was totally a mistake on the team's part.
I love George! He’s just an awkward Brit! Also your videos are the absolute best!! Definitely my favorite f1 videos out there.
Thanks so much!!
I get George; he's a daft soul who is quite eccentric when he wants to be. He can also be quite honest and that's why he's a good choice for the leader of the GPDA.
Imo a lot of the videos about why Russell is hated leave out one important part, the fact that he has no self reflection whenever he crashes or turns into another driver, for example bottas, mick, sainz and perez are all victims of his kamikaze shenanigans on track but according to him they were all at fault
Like he has some kind of blinkers on? Maybe he talks it out with the drivers in private and moves on. He seems like the kind of guy who quickly moves on.
The most sane Mick Schumacher fan
Thanks?
The reaction to the incident seems to have been blown out of proportion, especially with this driver's take! At the time, I was like 'What was Russell doing?' as he let Sainz by and then obviously got in Hamilton's way as they both started their laps, but it was a clear miscommunication, these things happen.
These 180s in fan perception of some drivers are mad. Russell seemingly over the last year and a bit, Vettel from how he was viewed at RBR to when he was at Ferrari and Aston (which is probably the most stark example for me). Any other examples?
Besides, fan opinions on drivers are a minefield I very much try and stay away from these days with the tribalism that's become more prevalent over the last couple of years, especially where the likes of Hamilton, Verstappen and Alonso are concerned. It's getting like football.
That is one of the reasons I find it hard to know what to think of 2021, I both loved and hated that season.
Loved: the title battle, McLaren vs Ferrari for 3rd in the Constructors throughout the year (which I honestly enjoyed more than the title fight), Hungary was bonkers, France was surprisingly good, Monza (no explaination needed I'm sure), and even Sochi, even with its ending: yes Norris denied himself his first win but Hamilton got his 100th win, so swings and roundabouts.
Hated: the title battle, the war of words between Red Bull and Mercedes especially after Silverstone, which for me was clearly the point where everything blew up, Spa, some of the later races left me with somewhat sour tastes, neither Hamilton or Verstappen covering themselves in glory at points with some of their driving, especially Verstappen in Brazil and Saudi Arabia, and the end of the race in Abu Dhabi (Hamilton staying out and Verstappen pitting was fine, nothing wrong with that, and nothing necessarily wrong with a one lap shootout, though I'm not a fan of it, e.g. at this year's Indy 500. My main issue with the end of Abu Dhabi was the way the lapped cars were handled, i.e. initially not allowing any of them to unlap themselves, and then not allowing all the lapped cars to unlap themselves when they decided to allow it) and the aftermath of it.
Indeed. A single incident doesn't a reputation make. It's multiple instances.
I feel like he’s a fundamentally sincere person, and that sort of personality is much more agreeable when you aren’t being successful. He is as sincerely humble as he is sincerely proud of and determined to develop off of, the success he has seen as a Merc driver, and when that bubbles to the top of the plot lines of F1, it’s far easier to take pot shots at him
I agree. He's the kinda guy who wouldn't sugarcoat things with you. Honest.
Yeah i didnt have any problems with this accident but his crashes with Bottas and Sainz and his refusal to take responsibility for anything is what makes me dislike him.
George Russel being fired is dumb
Absolutely.
Okay Guys calm down, it was just an Inschident.
And they scored 33 points anyway and got P2 in the constructor's so no harm done.
Charles is that you?
Great video bro 🙏
Appreciate it
Even as it happened this looked like an "oopsie Daisy" rather than a "haha got him" to me. And then we saw the different perspectives and heard the comments from everyone and it became even clearer that the team as a whole just messed up. George didn't know Lewis was coming up from behind at full speed and Lewis didn't know George didn't know. That's essentially it. A silly and embarrassing miscommunication by the team that almost cost them, but for the skill and judgement of their drivers.
Yeh this was quickly resolved and Lewis reckons he's part of the best lineup on the grid, so that doesn't seem bad to me.
It was clearly miss communication Russell wasn't told that Hamilton was behind and getting ready to start a flying lap and Hamilton wasn't told that Russell wasn't on a cool down lap
Agreed.
Lewis and a teammate getting into it at spain.
Valteri cracking a beer "traditions"
It wasn't even Lewis' fault. The team simply didn't tell George his teammate was coming in hot.
@LawVS I wasn't assuming blame, I just was saying that if I had a nickel for every incident at Spain with Lewis and a Mercedes teammate. I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it's happened twice
Ah Phineas and Ferb.
Of course not. Media are over exaggerating the whole situation just to create some fake drama as they usually do. It was just a simple miscommunication, and didn't change things that much for qualifying anyway as Russell still lost Q3 and Hamilton went through
Agreed.
The littlest things can get any body fired these days
It indeed was very small.
I love how people have the ability to think like this. Did George destroy both cars with that incident? Not even slightly. Lewis still got into Q3 and both cars got onto the podium as you said. Kudos for the Josh Revell and Perspective mentions also
Someone should show those people the clip of Chase Elliot right hooking Denny Hamlin head on into the wall during the Coca-Cola 600, I'd love to see their reaction to that one!
Yeh they had very good videos on their respective subjects.
No. George is a good driver who drives elbows out. You need that when you don't have an a1 car. Plus he's almost as good as Hamilton at this point, and will likely be better by late this season/early next
Just two drivers not knowing of each others' existence.
The only criticism of George I kinda understand is his Mercedes PR in every interview. Some people think it’s corny and he’s always talking up Merc but honestly, I just think he’s grateful to be in the position he’s in. If he plays his cards right, he could be the #1 driver after Lewis retires. George wants to win and he wants to beat Lewis. He races him fair, they both do. That incident between them wasn’t nearly anything close to what we saw with Nico and Lewis. I think George just needs to be more patient. He capitalized on a lot his first year with Merc to secure good points in many races, even giving Merc their only win at Brazil. George is a future world champ and I can’t wait for the day future gets removed from that sentence.
Indeed, he's very grateful for being in a top team and for putting faith in him. Sure he's a little cheesy and eccentric but that's kinda why I like him. He's also kinda straightforward and you feel like he wouldn't string you along or something. He's kinda if Max Verstappen were British.
@@LawVS couldn’t have said it better man. I definitely love his eccentric personality and feel like he just has so much to love, that people have to find reasons to hate him. Keep up the great videos, glad I found your channel. Your personality shines in your videos. I love the energy and passion that comes out in your videos and I enjoy listening to your videos. Keep up the good work. Much respect
Dont understand how some want George fired, it was a mistake and he is the perfect driver for Merc honestly
Well he's getting the opposite. Another year!
Do think this whole thing is being exaggerated because people want to find some kind of drama in this mostly dramaless season?
I think so. This was a mistake on the team's part, not George specifically.
Fanatic fans problem 😭😭😭
Or drivers without the full story.
Good grief, they're acting like Russell just pulled a Bubba Wallace and Chase Elliot and right hooked Lewis head on into the wall! Some people need to chill, even Russell and Hamilton were like, "yeah, nothing to see here!"
This is gonna make it into season 6 of DTS I tell you!
@@LawVS definitely some juicey soundbites for sure!
Never stop making videos mate! YOU are my F1 guy! keep it up
Thanks, will do!
Was just like Kimi and Giovinassi in Portugal 2021. Just a miscommunication (but 2021 was much more bizarre then this)
Soo.. yeah, if someone has a fault is Mercedes, for sure.
Exactly. These things happen.
I really like Geoge. Not so much when he's injecting his car's nose into the sidepod of Max's car & pretending not to understand the ramifications, but usually. As he grows & learns to say "sorry about that" more people will like him.
I'm getting vibes of Max Verstappen from 2018, when the Dutchman was starting to get a competitive car and was testing the limits of his skill. George is Max but British.
This is making something out of nothing. Though this seems to happen every time there's an incident involving Lewis.
It's not Lewis's fault either, it's the media and fan base that for some reason think Lewis is a victim and anything that happens to him is a sinister and deliberate action by the other driver, team mate or not.
Agreed. It definitely seems wrong. George is simply matter-of-fact and told us all it was a mishap from the team that will be looked at later
I completely forgot about this incident :D
Indeed it wasn't much but media wanted to overegg it
George gets a lot of hate. Even when he made the joke about Danny Ric flipping him the bird, he got hate about it. I like him and think he’s got a big future
He's a very serious person with a stern tone to his voice which doesn't help endear him to most people, who would rather prefer a person who's more gregarious or characterful.
George Russell goes full Ocon mode when he sees his teammate in front of him or in his rear view mirrors. Defends and attacks like a lion.
Fernando: What have I done? I've created a monster.
Communication crew are quite in false for this for not letting George know that Lewis is coming on full speed from behind if we look from George pov he was looking at Sainz and trying to avoid it and simply lets say some people just know how to exagerate nonsense
Yeah it was just a misunderstanding and nothing more and there'll be reviews to ensure it doesn't happen again.
Well done.
Speaking of “putting up your hand,” how many of us have made snap judgements that time has proven incorrect?
He'll come around. He just needs to realise that the momentum will be behind Lewis for longer than anticipated.
I've been a F1 fan since age 10 (1976). King George is young different car still needs 2 grow, Hammer Time is getting older, his reactions will b slower regardless of championships won.
People nake alot out of nothing & create 2 much BS! I don't agree with team orders, nor do I agree with driver 1 & 2. If one driver states he's faster then show me by breezing past ur team mate, all this Alonso is faster than u BS is not racing, its cheating!
Guidance & Protection
Mannerz & Respect!!
Peace 1Love 2All.
George just needs to calm down and be patient instead of challenging Lewis and making errors.
he is impeded 44 before and he does not seem to want to play game, especially when he is in front of 44.
It's a little issue Mercedes have. The plan was for Lewis to retire and George to steer the long-term ship...but Lewis now IS long-term and George is...kinda just there.
I didn't even though much off it. Since we know those drivers well (for those who have watch F1 for a long time).
They don't just put on the Darth Vader mask on turn evil.
It was a simple lapse of communication and both drivers kept it pointing forward.
I didn't even remember that incident. It was just an accident, and a minor one at that. I'm sure both drivers talked about it after the race and that's that and that's the end.
Yep. But people blew it way out of proportion.
He's had a few incidents which really put him in a bad light, character wise. The way he handled himself after he crashed into Bottas at Imola was really revealing. Didn't seem like the "professionalism" that you speak of.
He seemed to give off that vibe but what we're seeing right now is George becoming unstuck with Lewis adding the pressure.
They were just covering for George. He knew Lewis was there. He’s so obsessed with Luis that he constantly has to know where he is and what he’s doing. There is no way in hell that he didn’t know Louis was coming up behind him. He would’ve had to have not been checking his mirrors for 15 to 20 seconds
In any case he should be more occupied with his own race.
I didn’t like Russel when he was in f2 and I still don’t really like him now. He’s a very good driver but something just bugs me about him. Other drivers I can give reasons why I don’t like but for Russel it’s just the vibe I guess
Is it because he can be seen as quite serious? I get that, but I see a lot of Max Verstappen in him except British and not Dutch.
@@LawVS Russel and Verstappen have very similar personalities, both very serious and boring but the difference is that one is a champion
George Russell doesn't belong at Mercedes, because Lewis Hamilton chooses Valtteri Bottas to partner him for the 2022 F1 Season, if Valtteri Bottas didn't partner Guanyu Zhou at Alfa Romeo for 2022, then maybe Robert Kubica or George Russell could partner Guanyu Zhou at Alfa Romeo
I'm starting to think that's the case. George waited for years, built up a hungry attitude and now is in a team which doesn't do that...it's a mismatch.
The only reason I feel like people hate Mr. Spatial awareness over here is the reason that he's far more hypocritical than everyone on the grid......combined.
It's still unfair to suddenly dunk on him like this when he's clearly dealing with a car that isn't suited to him anymore. Also, him being the leader of the GPDA has gotta count for something. It just feels a little overblown.
everyone loves an underdog/new winner and then when they do well everyone changes their minds haha (see Vettel/Lewis/Max etc etc) I think GR has room to improve , but will get there in the end.
It doesn't help that his overall mood and demeanour is serious and can come across as somewhat uptight. Nevertheless, he's not a nasty person.
@@LawVS no not atall. and as a Williams fan he gave me the odd weekend of hope!
George Russell are focusing on fastest lap time
He's determined to get good results. Like any other drivers.
If red bull fired vettel with webber incident....they don't have a 4 time world champion
Nobody got hurt and the team had a good day on Sunday
It's probably the attitude seen on tv. Just like tabloids, the merits are not considered.
Yeah it's kinda the bad side of making instant content online, you gotta try and be seen and the trend right now is being pro-Lewis and anti-George.
Regardless, it's embarrassing hearing him come up with ideas on the radio that either get shot down OR fail. (maybe slicks in the wet or some crazy SHT.) still 2nd to Charles though. THAT guy is straight up cringy when he tries to talk the pit wall into helping him finish in front of Carlos who, IMO should be in #1 position due to the fact he probably won't spin every-single-time Max applies pressure from behind.
He's trying to be dynamic and quick-witted like Alonso can be, but he's being shot down all the time and it's causing him to try even harder.
Very ludicrous to think it was deliberate. Although if I were in George’s position I wouldn’t have hesitated to do a bit more damage…
It's crazy to think George would do that to his own teammate. He's no Mazespin at Baku
@@LawVS True
If there is a fall out between the to it would be better for merc to keep george and bin off Lewis . Because Lewis won't be there in 3-5 years and george probably will be
There was no beef ultimately.
I liked him previous year and though he had a lot of potential but since the start of this year I do keep losing respect. After the first race he was already about to cry because Red Bull was going to win every race and he was ready to throw in the towel. It shows how quickly he goes into defeatism which isn't a good trait for a sport like this. It really made him look weak in my eyes.
I'm starting to see him turn into the British Max Verstappen, which will be very interesting to see him and Max go at it. Like when Boris the Animal from MIB 3 met his past self.
its really just that people cant handle anything concerning Sir Lewis. if someone disadvantages LH, his fans get all crazy. well, lots of them anyways - i know theres normal LH fans.
I'm respectful of Lewis and his achievements and will appreciate ANY driver who's got the objective stats. George is a serious fellow and kinda is a British Max to me.
I do like George, but he tries too hard, he focuses on trying to win races or gain places via things like strategic calls rather than focusing on being clean, consistent and taking care of his tyres
He's like Charles and Checo. Trying too hard and making errors.
George - Formula 1 legend and alfamale - Russell
I agree. He should be fired and go to Ferrari. We can even give Mercedes Charles as compensation.
Well not before 2026 since George got his contract boosted BECAUSE of the Spanish GP.
@@LawVS I know, I'm joking.
He just appears disgustingly posh. The more exposure he gets the more he will be disliked because of that. Little to do with racing.
That is true, I will give you that. His aura is upper class...but that doesn't mean he can never be a nice guy.
George Rosberg
He's got Eddie Haskell vibes for sure
Oh yeah, save for the eyebrows.
Used to like him until I saw what he did to Bottas, then Zhou.
Yeah...his desperation to kick on at Mercedes has not helped.
Average Team LH behaviour
Actually Lewis was in agreement that it was a team mistake.
@@LawVS Lewis is level headed, a complete opposite of his fans, those are the ppl hating on Russel
He can't get a brake in the media because sky f1 and the rest are afraid to be critical of Hamilton 😢
But he's also British. His piece with the jets was cool.
Damon Hill will certainly disagree with you.
Also Jhonny Herbert
Also Diresta
And plenty more of the Sky puppets
Go Max !
To me, Max and George aren't so different. The only big difference is that George is British.
Surely you mean Sky Muppets 😂
Only TeamLH hate him, everyone who has some common sense doesn't
I feel like he's just as serious and focused as Max.
This isn't aging well.
It's looking more and more frantic for George.
@@LawVS Agreed. George made a conscience decision to ignore the proper path as you suggested and instead has opted for the poor mans Verstappen/Rosberg deluxe package.
Another W vid from Law!
He is a little to happy with himself
He kinda reminds me of Max in a way. The British Verstappen. Verchappen.
You are missing the point. George keeps running into other racers constantly. That is why he's rubbing a lot of people the wrong way.
But he's most likely resolved matters in private with drivers and if it were a major issue Toto probably has made it clear. He definitely shouldn't be this vilified.
George is a George man and not a team player
I think him being ignored and iced out sometimes exacerbates that sentiment.
If anyone just think to touch Lewis Hamilton immediately he became the bad guy same as Max..
...
Even Lewis wasn't that fused though
George is my favourite driver, but I am not biased towards him, I've always agreed with the penalties he has been given in the past and so on. But people give him way too much crap for no real reason. And how does it make sense for Mercedes to sack George, he's their future team leader that they've invested on for many years, and has already proved to be really fast and consistent.
Well Mercedes are thinking the same as you, Nick; since they've most likely extended his contract to 2025 off the back of the weekend. I think what people don't like about George, now that he's in the spotlight, is that he's very to the point. He's honest to a fault and sometimes people don't want to hear honesty or cookie-cutter media responses. Also, I'm sure whatever things he has with drivers is probably dealt in private with said driver instead of doing it indirectly over TV interviews.
Hamilton needs to retire because lando norris needed a mercedes seat in formula one
Lewis is so going for that eighth title...like how Fernando is after his third.
@@LawVSyeah i dont think so because Lewis is too old now he thinks to retire sooner rather than later!!!
common teamLH L
It was quite harsh.
Late too the vid but cool you mansion josh
Just goes to show how toxic is #TeamLH fan base.
Didn't really see it that way.
queen George
Who saved Merecdes' bacon for 2nd.
Let me give my take here and you guys can clown on me if I am wrong: He is a wolf in a sheep’s clothing.
I can understand your thought. George has a very stern and serious look where he could have an evil arc if pushed the wrong way...but for now, he's a good guy - just a little serious.
@@LawVS I agree with you there and thats a for now. I would say my statement was a little bit of intuition so it has a high chance of being complete bs
George only gets hate because he wiped the floor with lulu all year last year. i hope geoge can get hi sh++ together and wipe the floor with lulu forever!
He's definitely the future of Mercedes once Lewis decides to retire.
Mate what nonsense did you just spew, who is paying you to try spin this story... Do you know how many team members there are per team? And not one? Im sure there is a reason but this sounds like discord gossip for sure, be better... the Merc PR team would have addressed it last time already to the team... no one showing up is bad, full stop, no excuses.
It was too small for all three teams and the W14 wasn't near the PARC ferme section. After Baku they limited people further.
Even when the video isn't about haas they can't avoid the slander I'm now convinced your salty about Mick lol
I am a little bit, yes.
#OverRated
He's proving to be too hasty and pressured.
@@LawVS Agreed. He needs to calm down a bit. His crashes won’t help his cause.
Clickbaitiest thumbnail and title imaginable
Not really. It's all about this take I saw which is just ludicrous.
Totally agree. Had to laugh when i saw the title 😂
GEORGE IS A DISGRACE. HIS MAIN AIM IS TO BEAT HAMILTON TO PROVE SOMETHING. BLAMING ALL EVEN WHEN IT IS HIS FAULT.
Any driver would want to try and overcome Hamilton, he's one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time. George didn't blame Lewis, he admitted it was a miscommunication and it was concluded as a team issue.
Russell is more complete person and driver than Hamilton will ever be!
I feel like he's the British Verstappen.
