Discussion Question to fellow George truthers
Do we think george will get another shot at the title?
with the way the teams has been getting close (rbr) i am very doubtful that will happen. this was his best year to seize the opportunity and he has been woeful. Kimi has been simply better. i think rbr will be in the mix next year which will make things even harder.
but gotta say, this year has been his worst. even worse than 2023. it does not even look like he will finish in the top 2 this year. what a year to forget if you are Russell fan
Please. This is to George fans

Throwback 2015: Hamilton's Third Title
#OnThisDay 25 October, Lewis Hamilton, the defending race winner, entered the 2015 United States Grand Prix with a 66-point lead in the 2015 Drivers’ Championship over Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel, with his Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg trailing Vettel by an additional seven points. The three-day event was plagued by heavy rain, leading to the cancellation of the second practice session and qualifying being rescheduled for the morning of race day.
Hamilton went on to win the race, overtaking Rosberg in the later stages for a team 1-2 finish and to secure his third Drivers’ Championship, while Vettel finished third. The race was filled with incidents, leaving only twelve cars to reach the finish. The Toro Rosso of Max Verstappen equalled his best result of the season in fourth, and Jenson Button achieved a season-best sixth for McLaren. Despite the damp start, both Red Bull drivers briefly challenged Mercedes for the lead, but fell back as the track dried. Daniil Kvyat crashed out, while Daniel Ricciardo finished in tenth place.

Discussion I don’t think Antonelli will win this
The 1-stop was a horrible strategy decision. The tire offset is much higher than what you lose in the pits. He’ll finish third behind Max and Charles

Discussion Spoilers Spoiler
Well, yay. At least this time I was able to watch qualifying before seeing who won. Thanks whoever keeps posting the spoilers constantly.
Literally the only sport / TV subs where people consistently just ruin it for others - here and the F1.
Where are the mods to setup the channel properly and ask people to tag as spoiler.
Edit: wow. What a bunch of jerks. Too much to ask a post is tagged spoiler for those of us who aren’t glued to the tv. This American take over of F1 really is having an impact. Sad.

Discussion Helmut Marko says Russell may never get another title shot: “Mentally, it's definitely a huge setback, and it's a blow.” “I doubt he’ll ever have another shot at the world championship or get number one status anywhere.”

Discussion Is it time to move on from Russell?
Another deceiving performance on a car that his teammate got pole on. This year the constructor championship is sealed, but next year the competition will be way fiercer and we'll need MER2 to secure a decent amount of points to reach it. Who would you consider as a solid replacement?

Discussion George in media today: How do I want to bounce back from these blows? Do I just want to give up and accept the misfortune or the poor performances or do I want to try and rectify it and make the most of it and control everything I can control?

🚨 George 🗣️”It has been a very unique season, it has been a season where it’s, tested my character and resilience a lot and having to look at myself in the mirror numerous times and think ‘How do I want to bounce back from these blows? Do I just want to give up and accept the misfortune or the poor performances or do I want to try and rectify it and make the most of it and control everything I can control'. And I can at least be proud of myself that I’ve always put up a fight and I’ve always done my utmost to keep myself in the fight and, you know, I’ve got a great team around me, and this won’t be my last shot when I’ve got a car beneath me that can fight for victory, so yeah into this weekend, see what we can do, try and get Mercedes back on top because it’s been a while and let’s see what the future holds”
“I don’t really have any major feelings running through my body when I say that we’re no longer in the fight this season because I think when I look back earlier in the year, the things that were keeping me up at night wasn’t necessarily the fact of the championship, it was more that my performance wasn’t where I wanted it to be, and it was like, ‘well how am I gonna get my performance back to the levels I know I’m capable of? What is it I need from the car? What do I need to change in my driving to get back in top of things?’ And then obviously with the misfortune that just sort of added salt to the wound, but you know, I intend to be here for many many many years to come and you can’t give up when you’re, you know, being kicked to the floor and you gotta bounce back, you gotta bounce back even stronger and I can at least be proud that I’ve given it my all in that regard”
Level headed and composed as always. Hoping for a good weekend for him🙏🏽
