A role model and the future of F1.

Outstanding. I work with young people and George is one in a million. He has incredible resilience, patience and intelligence. Can't wait to listen to the full episode.

@@Tgirl65able The listening full was brillant.

💯 agree. I am almost double his age. I have learnt a lot about mindset from him to be honest and it's currently helping me tackle some unknown territories and new paths I would normally not...super proud of him. He is so misunderstood by some, I think because of his level of maturity and thinking. They are not there and ready to understand him. Sad, they think he is snobbish and think highly of himself. Instead he is classy and doesn't waste time with things that are not constructive.

@@f1greenlight finally someone said it. i agree with you

not sure he "forecast" those results.

Same as me, i was sceptical at the beginning of the season as a Lewis fan since 07, but he is just class and im now a big big fan, even bought some GR63 merch at COTA. Future worldchamp for sure 👍🏼

I must admit, I've gone the other way. It's not criticism or reflection of his performance, something that's hard to put a finger on beyond not gelling with his personality and finding his insights very original or compelling.

Polar opposite personality to lando, fascinating. One thing for sure he is a perfect fit for merc as opposed to rb or McLaren.

Delusional.

Horrible personality and almost no real interpersonal class. He’s a spoiled little rich kid who wants everything handed to him. “He just fully turned into me”

It is a good mindset to have, since they are only where they are due to the performance of the entire team.

and deservedly so. hes a better driver than both of them so its justice

Albon is never going to get a win.

In a car clearly faster than both of theirs

@@LandoNoWins99 Arguable, Russell and Lando are on the same level from my point of view.

@@SmarkySmarkz yeah that’s kinda true from what I can see from 2022.

The only tool kit was Crashtappen.

@@MagicAyrtonforeverYep. Verstappen said after the race that he took the chance of victory away from Hamilton with that move. Happy for George but man do I hope Lewis wins in Australia

@@MagicAyrtonforeverif you look at the contact in Brazil and blame it on Verstappen you’re not looking at the same crash as the rest of the world. He was completely inside of the corner, and full alongside Hamilton when the contact happened. I don’t even like Verstappen but it wasn’t on him

@@ParCBur So then you would also say Max's crash with ocon in 2018 was Max's fault too right?

@@bsfjsadlkash2234 extenuating circumstances, when Ocon is a lap down, his duty to unlap himself is to do it in a non-compromising fashion.

agreed

Facts

Don't swear. Kids are watching

Piastri is

@T S no he doesn’t

@T S so ? Ayrton was like that Michael was like that what you said is nothing to do with snobbery

@T S are you kidding me about Michael and ayrton. Michael was gonna punch David coulthard in Belgium 98 called Bruno senna an idiot when it was michaels fault be quiet mate. Ayrton used to hate Alain Prost and slag him off. Just shush

@T S it’s not about politics every driver is in the sport for themselves not team mate. If driver 1 can get an advantage over driver 2 then so be it. It’s the name of the game

I have been His fan since GP3 in 2017❤

yes

No lol

@T S yes he can beat max rn

@@shakmarriott4820 If Mercedes come out with a title contending car I agree I think he can dethrone max. His junior career was probably the best of all the current drivers and if he can perform anything like he did in sakhir 2020 he will have that championship. This year cars built were a massive gamble for all teams because there was no data which is why the grid shuffled up a lot. I think now Mercedes are the team with the most data given the massive range of things they seemed to try in all the practise sessions.

Hahahaha 🤣. The same guy who cried like a bitch when the rain won him a podium in Spa without racing a lap?

Ture

I wholeheartedly agree. Mercedes AMG is the full premium package plus all DLC. Every single person is integral to the whole F1 program working or failing. Every unfortunate strategy choice that didnt work is evaluated and genuine adaptations to overcome said unfortunateness makes the whole team stronger every time.. Mercedes seems to be the only team presently that listens to any team members idea or criticisms. They seem to hungrily seek that new frontier to maintain their dominance. Craziest part is it ALWAYS looks and sounds genuinely bonafide whenever Lewis tours the factory or a cameraman catches footage of crew interactions. It would be easy to just act as if the team culture is so well woven, it just doesn't ever seem fake is what i think is closest correct term. Mercedes does their Monday morning pitwall videos and openly analyzes sometimes REALLY brutal criticism from armchairs team principals. That very excercise quiets naysayers, explains failures along with the reasons why the failed choice was initially taken and ultimately shows specifically what weaknesses they need work on. Oftentimes that pitwall vid is saying "so the strategy was suboptimal, but the drivers are big D bossmen and they made it work. Here's why we almost didn't win." It's amazing to see, even though Im kinda taking it on faith that the Mercedes F1 te culture is so proactively forward thinking. No blame games, which allows all individuals a safe space to criticize themselves. Yet when that happens, especially on race day we all see the feed of the entire Merc garage supporting a mechanic after wheelgun failure or something. It's a incredibly difficult work culture to achieve, has to be molded slowly and methodically but damn if Mercedes aint got to the final polishing point by now. That entire hive mind style management and work environment leaves space that is neutral to present problems and then gather a variety of really smart peoples ideas together and try the eventual best combined idea. That's why i think Mercedes aint gonna be just done with winning cuz this year was probably a very difficult slog for them all. I think Mercedes will hit on some fiercely gorgeous engineering and drop the veiny, meaty, championship winner snausage right at old Chrissy-boy Horner's door this 2023 season. Even if Merc dont win, some more hard but fair and legal wheel to wheel racing will satisfy me regardless. I feel the battles have been rather intense here last 3 seasons.

@@threadtapwhisperer5136 You have very aptly described, why Mercedes has dominated the F1 during the hybrid, and will most likely continue to do so. It seems like Mercedes is the only team on the grid, that truly encapsulates the idea of F1 being a team sport. Toto Wolff didn’t make any promises with George Russel, until Valtteri Bottas was able to find a spot for 2022. And there are plethora of other examples that highlight the work-culture of Mercedes, and how it factors in their performance. Toto is running it like a well oiled machine, and I don’t think so anyone could have done a better job.

​@@threadtapwhisperer5136 eloquently said, lol at big d bossmen

So ture agree 👍

Who are the people that need to see this. If you are talking about Lewis fans. Most of us know George is great what we dislike is people putting Lewis down because George outscored him in his first season. When a lot of the younger drivers say they learned a lot from Lewis. Tunsonda said a lot of them watch the lines Lewis takes and have learned a lot from it. That is all Lewis fans wany is recognition and to say yes George is great but so is Lewis. Not Lewis was never great because here comes this young gun who himself said he has learned from Lewis beat him.

@@brownbabyuk10 I think he means all of his haters, people that don’t really know much about him. People who only dislike him because he’s in a Mercedes now. Unfortunately that’s just how it is sometimes, people start hating a driver or coming to conclusions without even knowing anything about them

if you would love to watch a 5 hour interview and you cant watch this segment where at the end of it clearly says full episode coming monday, i dont know what to tell you lol edit: even the comment from the channel it self says that

You can kind of tell all the young ones are taking a lesson out of Hamilton’s book. Even verstappen. They realize consistency is more important than outright speed. We all have Nikki lauda to thank for that tho.

@@weignerleigner3037 The Verstappen who couldn't wait to overtake so crashed into Hamilton and demoted himself? That one?!

I love George but lets remember that the whole point differences was because Lewis was the one with the experimental car and all the tests were being done with his car and not George’s

You're an idiot if you rationalise it in that way. You ignore all context & just look at the end result & summarise that he must be better than a 7x world champion. You don't mention the fact that he had something like almost a 50 point lead after 6 races because Hamilton was the guy running experimental setups to try & resolve the issues with the car. You don't talk about how Russell was behind Hamilton ,& would've finished behind Hamilton in 4 of the first 6 races.. But incredibly lucky safety car timing not only saved his race, but actually GIFTED him position over Hamilton either outright on track, or by being able to get brand new tyres for a free pitstop & have the gap closed, so that he was right behind Hamilton who's on old tyres. That happened 5 times in the season, 4 times in the first 6 or 7 races. He was outperformed by Hamilton after race 7 of the season, & outperformed pretty thoroughly tbh. He was outqualified badly & on average around 2 tenths slower than Hamilton on outright pace. Why don't you try watching the races for once in your life & factoring context into things. There's nothing more annoying in F1 than people that conveniently ignore context so they can portray the narrative they want to portray.

@@enthusiastlot9365 Agreed.LH was running test set ups. But If a year ago someone told me a kid during his first year at Merc would even come close to beating Hamilton, it would have been considered mighty impressive. George just did the unthinkable! Beat Hamilton and that too by 35 points. To finish in the top 5 in all but 2 races is remarkable consistency. It's that consistency that didn't allow LH to blitz past Russell in the second half of the season, even when LH was arguably quicker

@@WildfireX Never did I say LH was slower. I am saying the result is remarkable. Of course George was lucky and LH was running test setups! Of course George was slower than Hamilton during the second half of the season! That doesn't take away from the fact that Russell's performance was incredible! Valteri or most drivers on the grid would still have not beat LH if they had got the same opportunity that George got at Merc this year. It's obvious that LH is head and shoulders above Russell as a driver, but in this particular season Russell matched Hamilton and with luck he beat LH. Anyone who can even briefly compete with Hamilton needs to be appreciated, that's how good LH had been! A 7 time world champion in the form of LH in 2022 is far superior a driver to a 2 time champ in the form of Alonso in 2007, who had 6 years experience in F1 then. Hence Russell beating a veteran Hamilton who has 15 years experience in F1 is a equally remarkable achievement. You can argue the case that beating a 2007 Alonso was harder than beating a 2022 Hamilton, but that means you admit to the fact that Alonso in 2007 was a superior driver to the veteran LH of 2022. You can bring up context again, but then we have to talk about the context of Hamilton's 07 season with Alonso as well. Context matters! But not as much as the final Result! ( At least in sports ) Any further addition of context wouldn't diminish the achievement of both LH in '07 and Russell in '22!

Hamiltons 2007 much more impressive. No debate. In 2007 they had a championship winning car. This year they had the 3rd best car and whether one is in front of the other one doesnt really matter. Plus in 2007 Hamilton was genuinely quicker than Alonso whereas this year George definitely wasnt quicker than Lewis.

It premiers on Monday.

No

@@tuckermthrfckr7 Sucks to be you lol

Monday

That's what happens when the "goat" isn't in the best car. Russell has been used to fighting in sub par machinery, he was always going to beat Hamilton when the car isn't the fastest on track. Hamilton has never been in a 3rd place car.

It was not even meant like negative but Ok

And this was done before Singapore

What ?

Zanfort?

When did he do that ?

Hw crashed into people and ruined their races ? Where it was only His fault expect Singapore ?

@@km4075 France, Austria, Austin, Silverstone, Singapore multiple times

Fraud? The only fraud is crystappen ‘give me my p6 😭’ 🤣😂😂

@@maxverstappen7160 don’t act like your golden boy goat isn’t the same. Never knows when to yield when his car isn’t dominant. Loves just crashing into others

@@AZBCDEE Summary of Lewis’ 2022 Season: 1. Contact with Alonso in Miami 2. Contact with KMag in Spain 3. Contact with Ocon in Monaco 4. Reckless crash with Alonso in Spa 5. Contact with Carlos in Zandvoort 6. Contact with KMag again in Monza 7. Contact with Carlos again in Singapore 8. Dangerous driving in Mexico and Miami while racing his team mate 9. Reckless crash with Max in Brazil that ruins Lewis’ chance to podium / win Wow isn’t that crazy that Max’s only crash all 2022 is with Lewis? Very interesting how when Max and Lewis aren’t racing each other, Lewis still has a disaster season full of contact? I really wonder who was the problem in 2021????

He did not sacrifice, no driver will "sacrifice" let alone LuLu. Stop that superlame excuse.

@@hamzterix yeah dude these LH fans simply don't wanna accept that George bet ham in his first season, so they give these kinds of excuses

@@mkfreestylers name 4 races where george actually had better race pace.

@@jabunoriginal5173 overall, Russell have better tire management = race distance pace = more point in WDC. All that in his first year at Mercedes. Fact: Russell is a better driver than Lewis in 2022.

Why you LHcultist following him through the internet. Christ !
