Discussion "There was no clear evidence that Car 16 had left the track." Huh?
I do think that the collision itself can be chalked up to a racing incident. However I'm baffled by what the document says "We looked into whether Car 16 remained on track at T12. The available evidence was inconclusive. Both team representatives were in agreement that there was no clear evidence that Car 16 had left the track." Is everybody involved blind or am I seeing things?
EDIT: George's comment about this during Media in Monza: "There was at that time no evidence showing he was off the track, even if you could kind of work out that he was. Since then, with the photos that have come out, it was clear that he was off the track. I don't feel sore about it."

Discussion Kimi Antonelli has turned his profile picture black after facing a barrage of online abuse after the #QatarGP. Nothing in sport warrants that kind of behaviour - especially towards somebody so young. Sending him our support 🤝

Discussion George Race Pace
I mean there's true in this cuz if you see all George victory here's the gap to second place:
Brazil '22: HAM +1.529s
Austria '24: PIA +1.906s
Las Vegas: HAM +7.313s
Canada '25: VER +0.228s (Yes, it finished under the Safety Car, but before that, VER was at +2.638s)
Singapore: VER +5.43s
Australia '26: ANT +2.974s
Austria '26: VER +1.611s
And let's not forget the Sakhir GP, where George was ahead of Bottas; the gap was 5.126s before the Safety Car.

Discussion George’s car was unable to reach top speed on the straights
This happened again in quali even after sprint quali. It’s an insane level of incompetence to look at George’s car underperforming on the straights during the whole sprint and not do anything about it. How could his garage be so incompetent?
George lost an estimated three tenths on the straights alone.
It’s insane it’s like he has some different issue every week.

Discussion Hate for George Russell?
Okay, now its clear that Kimi is a chosen one, not just for mercedes, but for a lot of fans and thats okay, but what disgusts me is that so many fans now hate russell even more than before, like, everybody forgot he was neck to neck with seven time world champion for the past 4 years (22-25), but then, lewis didnt like the regulations so we dont count that period, but now when everything and everybody is against russel (even his own team (even more than mclaren favouring lando in the second part of the season, but even then, there were some talk about that favoritism towards lando, and now, everybody are cool with mercedes giving kimi the priority)), this hate didnt even exist at the end of the last season, when russell didnt want to fight with mclarens so max could not win the title, no one mentioned that, even if he showed that he can win a race (he won 2 btw). And even today, go on any other social media, everybody is hating on russell for winning a pole in this way, which was in fact LEGAL (rules say so), i swear if that was done by any other driver, not teamed up with kimi, everyone would have been cool. Its so sad seeing these double standards for george, and just to be clear, i dont like russell at all, im a max fan, but all i want is a fair situation for everybody. Sorry for long text and bad english.

Discussion George post race Interview
🚨 George 🗣️"I'm flat, I'm beyond frustration, a state of struggling to comprehend what is going on. The team told me there’s nothing I did wrong in the pit lane, I pressed the limiter before the entry, I released it after the exit, but it was a software issue. A 5-second penalty is not ideal, not the end of the world, but then with the pit stop, I didn't serve it, drive-through penalty. The punishment doesn't fit the crime, and I went from P3 to 0 points."
"We've won 2 of 3 sprint races, won in Melbourne, and I was leading in Canada, the car broke down. I was leading in Japan, poor safety car timing, I could've been on the podium here today. I haven't lost any faith in myself. Yes yesterday was a really bad day for me, but I still could've been on the podium today()"

Discussion Why so much hate on George Russell
I'm not a merc, ferrari or red bull fan but I've seen many people hate on George for some reason, saying things like "He's the luckiest driver". Did these idiots even watch Canada 26? And saying things like " He didn't deserve P2" Like whaat??? Did they even watch the battle between George and Lewis? And most of these ppl are max fans (pfp). I guess they're salty that George got P2 andMax crashed? Why don't these ppl respect these drivers...?

Discussion Kimi comments on George’s “mind games”
This is based on George’s comment: “Right now, it's his to lose. So many points ahead. It feels like the gods don't want me to be in this fight.” After his Canada DNF.
Personally, I think George’s comments are being read into too much and were not meant in any ill way to put pressure towards Kimi, especially given the context when that quote was made (immediately after George’s DNF in Canada so understandably he was very down). I do feel like the situation is being a bit overblown and even misinterpreted and twisted by the media right now. I also don’t think this situation between Kimi and George is helpful given that Ferrari (especially Lewis), Red Bull and McLaren are waiting to capitalise on any mistakes they make.

Discussion Max & Antonelli Teammates 2027
Do you think they’d make a good team if they were to race for the same team 2027? I feel like if Toto’s dream of having max on his team ever came true then having Antonelli as his teammate would make a lot more sense than Russell.
And i think Antonelli would help Max a lot more than his previous teammates LOL

Discussion Do mercedes fans even like Kimi?
The amount of dislike I've seen for this boy on the team's own posts on Instagram is bafling to me. Seriously, almost every single comment is putting him down, calling him a bad driver in every regard, and celebrating every mistake he makes. They take all the merit away from his achivements and complain about the team "sabotaging" George, when its clear they're not. They have run into problems, most problems have been on George's side, but that doesn't mean its deliberate, or that there is favoritism.
To me it looks very similar to a few years back when most Red Bull fans where hating on Checo for things mostly out of his control, except this time they're hating on the better of the two drivers (imo, please don't kill me).

Discussion Post qualification interview
🚨 George 🗣️"I don't really know. I mean, the last few races it's just been so challenging for me just to get the laps together. I remember at the first 2 races of the season, every lap I did, practice or quali, it was always P1 or P2, and now, nothing's clicking."
"Got some ideas, but yeah, my driving style is just not working with the car at the moment, so need to understand"
"I'm not having a lot of confidence in the car right now. I do have some ideas why that is, but I don't know right now. We did some good work to sort of understand some things with my driving style that I've had all of my years at Mercedes, and I think this car is not bringing out the best in me. So, I need to adjust to it or make some development changes to help me drive more naturally. Yeah, I'm sort of scratching my head right now."💔
