@weraugoing It’s the age old context only matters when it’s my fave driver problem I fear 😭

@Elmaroca1 exactly! george wasn’t lucky in 2025, he was having issues whole season, sometimes minor, sometimes major but sth was constantly there
but who watches races right
English
“… he could afford a cruel instance of racing misfortune. … But not now. Not amidst an intra-team championship battle…”
and that’s exactly why 12s should stop with their bs about 2025 dnfs due to engine, referring to george being luckier in 2025, it’s not comparable to 2026
English
@MrsBonesMcCoy @formulaleonog7 Where did you get that from? Toto has said that it wasn’t George’s fault and there was nothing he could do?
Kimi was not faster in Canada, it’s just a track prone to yo-yoing in these new regs. He couldn’t pull away from George when he was ahead, and spent more time behind him
English
@Elmaroca1 @formulaleonog7 George car broke at the weekend because he was putting to much pressure on it trying to fight kimi. Kimi was faster and george should of let him by... just like george made kimi do last year.
English
Championship after 5 races without any bad luck
Russell - 126
Antonelli - 108

English
@MrsBonesMcCoy @formulaleonog7 So did George (Monaco, vegas etc) and he scored 70 percent of the overall points
The only times Kimi beat George last year were when George had car issues.
He was weaker than George last year, this year we shall see when they are both given opportunities in the same car
English
@Elmaroca1 @formulaleonog7 Kimi had pu issues all last year? And everyone blamed him for being a rookie.
English
@georgesrussells @itsanakolt Idk much about tarot but that’s what pretty much everyone who took a reading was saying!!!
Distress in Canada, but fulfilment at the end = George ending this cycle 🙂↕️
English
@itsanakolt like no matter how i see it race after race i think hes forced to see the negatives too and maybe thats what was missing. i hope that was the missing piece
English
when a lot of people were calm about canada i had a hunch that something bad could happen (i literally said im scared his car just dies) but now that i cooled down i have a good feeling about the races ahead, call me delusional but that dnf was him ending the curse
English
@awkwardstray George is decent in Monaco whilst it’s not his best track!!
Those stats are him outperforming the Williams
Only reason he got p11 in 2025 was his car stopping in quali!
English
the only expectation i have from monaco this year is points 👍🏻👍🏻 anything above a p8 and ill be more than happy
Info George Russell 🇧🇷@inforussellbr
🇲🇨 | MÔNACO! A próxima corrida da temporada de 2026 será no principado de Mônaco. Pela Williams: Em 2019, George foi P15; Em 2021, George foi P14. Pela Mercedes: Em 2022, George foi P5; Em 2023, George foi P5; Em 2024, George foi P5; Em 2025, George foi P11. 📷 x GR (2025)
English
i dont think george will allow this tho, he is kind but he knows whats at stake. if canada did anything good, its definitely that george now understands how things are going to be, and i think he will adapt to it. he has always been a fighter and i dont doubt him one bit.

translation: they're waiting until they can significantly increase the point gap between george and kimi, so they can start telling george to give up races because "we need to prioristise the wdc"
English
@starsy_cedes Exactly!! Not to the fanbase because everyone with a semblance of empathy understands how awful he was feeling
English
people saying he shouldn't be apologizing very clearly missing that he was apologizing to the marshals who had to go out and collect his headrest 😭 he was understandably angry but he also apologized like a polite person
Formula 1@F1
An apology from George following his emotional exit from the Canadian Grand Prix 👇 #F1 #CanadianGP
English
@JohnDoe1447199 @YOULIKEMYPACE Beat him in both qualis and sprint, and was defending well and fine- if anything Antonelli should be lower of we’re factoring in the whole weekend
English
@YOULIKEMYPACE How tf dows battery man has 8.5 for Canada? He was pulling moves on Antonelli that 63s would've flamed Max for.
English
@AdamantxYves @electoralgarb That is the reason the h is now said in uk English!! The upper classes reverted to the intuitive
But it is philosophically and linguistically wrong to now approach that as an "incorrect"
Nor view the American one as "correct"
Neither reflect the French, or the Middle English
English
"Herb" is a borrowed word from French. The h was always silent. Brits added it back in, and I honestly don't know why.
I'll look it up in an hour.
KirkSav81@SavageKp
@Poppers_R_Us Or Herbs. There's a H at the beginning. Try using it.
English
@AdamantxYves @slopministry If I meant always I would’ve said always wouldn’t I???
I’m defending both? Neither is any more legitimate
And if you want to go by old pronunciation neither is "right"
English
@AdamantxYves @electoralgarb It is primitive to assume a word that’s been in English since the Norman conquest and Middle English is still pronounced the way it was back then!
If you look at vowel pronunciation based on IPA UK is much closer, neither is based on the old pronunciation
English
@Elmaroca1 @electoralgarb Meanwhile my entire point was that there's a reason why we pronounce the word the way we do, just like there's a reason why you pronounce the word the way you do. And there are other words that begin with an h that neither of us pronounces.
But I guess that's primitive too.
English
@AdamantxYves @slopministry Herb is initiative. Many pronunciation shifts across the world function like that, moving to the more intuitive option. Whatever the underlying reason doesn’t make it abnormal or wrong
English
@TomC8042 @Not__me06 I agree with that as a concept but this guy specifically is so biased with what he picks and chooses as representative lmao
English
@Not__me06 He obviously does it differently and I normally don’t agree with ‘luck corrected’ things. But he isn’t just showing a H2H. He is showing representative data based on what actually happened e.g Norris was going to finish miles ahead of Piastri but because of the DNF didn’t
English
Either a driver finishes ahead of his teammate or he doesn't. What the fuck you mean 'luck corrected' ???
Delta Data@DeltaData_
English
@slopministry @AdamantxYves Yes it’s a typical case of getting the ick- like "napkin" being more upper class than "serviette"
English
@AdamantxYves victorians added the ‘H’, because the lower classes were using the french pronunciation, and it gave them the ick
English
@AdamantxYves @electoralgarb This shows you have such a primitive view of linguistics! Pronunciations shift back and forth, it’s such a fundamental concept. Neither us or uk pronunciation is more "correct"
English
@electoralgarb And by the time English got it, the H was silent.
English
@yahalloVAL @flintey360 @Itskylienew Some are claiming he was performing better than George which is just false
English
English
george’s mistakes:
-the car fucking dies
if you somehow think george caused his engine to die you need help
d¹² 🍀@heartsforkimi
George made so many mistakes yesterday yet it’s only kimi’s mistakes you guys highlight. I’m so fucking tired of this bs. You guys expect kimi to be absolutely perfect in his second year even though his experienced teammate makes mistakes too
English
Where's the British bias when we need? China race and canada race were ruined because of a ENGINE FAILURE AND THEY STILL DON'T HAVE A FUCKING CLUE OF THE POSSIBLE PROBLEM ( neither the fucking solution) like some journalist needs to ask serious questions about this
English
