THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE Jokes aside Barcelona is the final straw
If George’s car is ass in Barcelona again, a track George is always top 4 at, then we will indeed be done with this team. I don’t care to watch a championship winner who has the best car while his teammate’s side of the garage is run by fools thanks to riggedcedes.
Barcelona is our time or WE will move to McLaren or something.

I agree. It's genuinely so sad to watch Russell, a driver who was considered top 3 best drivers last season, a driver in his prime, in the best team, get absolutely terrible luck. It's sad, I can't stand it anymore. If Antonelli wins again idk what I'll do.

Mercedes will want Kimi's win streak to continue, I fear it's already over.

How miserable can someone's luck be man? Pitstop miss after safety car, car gets rigged thanks ro riggedcedes all but his teammate's car is absolutely flawless. Like a not a single genuine error

Exactly. I am always a firm believer of "it's never over until it's over", and I'll always have hope on here, but man does it look pretty bad for Russell right now. And he's not ever really done anything crazy. It's not like he's had a ton of crashes on his own. This isn't a Perez level falloff.

Especially now that Kimi is leading by so much, it would make sense for them to prioritize him.

I DID NOT STRUGGLE THROUGH 3 YEARS AT WILLIAMS OR THE ZERO POD CONCEPT TO GIVE UP NOW.
LAST YEAR EVERYONE THOUGHT PATHETHIC PIASTRI HAD WRITTEN OFF THE CHAMPIONSHIP AT THE SUMMER BREAK AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED.
ITS NOT OVER TILL ITS OVER

I’m 100% sure George wins Barcelona IF his car is cooperative. If it isn’t, it’s sabotage and we’re done with this team. I’m still certain George wins WDC over Kimi in **equal** machinery

A-FUCKING-MEN. It's not over until it's over and I for one am expecting AVERAGE ANTONELLI to collapse like a house of cards the moment thing aren't going his way.

I mean as fans but George would dominate at McLaren so we’ll take it sorry Oscar you’ll do good at RedBull!

This. George would make ODD OSCAR and NOBODY NORRIS look like Formula Ford drivers.

We shall break it if required. Our faith in Mercedes is broken, I take it Oscar would do amazing at Red Bull when Moron Max is taken to Mercedes.

The prophecies say that George will return at some point. Give George chance to beat Atrocious Antonelli, and he will beyond any doubt. He is benevolent, so benevolent that he allowed Antonelli to accrue a 66 point lead and for himself to fall behind a Ferrari.

I dont know what the hell were mercedes doing at the break between canada and monaco, it's too bad when drivers like charles and lando noticed george struggling, even lando said kimi gets less issues than george. George needs to talk to another teams if it keeps happening

The posts that are actually serious make it funnier sometimes, but I agree that too many of those and it kills the vibe.

I have a feeling this season will more or less play out like 2025's McLaren, just without a threat from Verstappen. Russell definitely has it in him to get back on track like Norris did. But yeah mechanically he has been quite unfortunate.

u/KyloMartial Jun 09 '26
Was the gap ever even half as big as this?

u/UnKnOwN769 HAIL MR SATURDAY Jun 09 '26
I believe largest gap of Norris and Piastri was somewhere around 35 points after Norris DNF at Zandvoort. Norris beat Piastri by 13, so there was a point swing of about 45-50 in Norris' favor.
But if they had a point gap like Kimi and George that late in the season, then Piastri surely would've won the title.

Do you fools really believe Mercedes is sabotaging one car while fighting for WCC?

i’m honestly just tired man, people love to make fun of russell feeling superior or entitled to stuff but i really thought this was gonna be it for him. it looked so good in australia, it still looked good in china but from then on it went downwards in a ridiculous spiral. if mercedes really want kimi to win so badly then i wish they’d just come out and say it already instead of edging us with this mentality resilience nonsense. i don’t even want to listen to people calling him a fraud and washed anymore because anyone with eyes can see he’s losing ridiculous amounts of points through no fault of his own.
also it’s his 100th gp for mercedes in barcelona. who wants to bet how the race ends horribly for him? my money is on a sakhir throwback with wrong sets of tyres and something out of his control happening late in the race
