He isn’t anywhere near average! I was also so excited for him to join and I wanted him in the team badly after Bahrain 2020! But what is it that makes people hate him?TeamKoolGreen wrote: ↑24 Jun 2024, 19:52Yeah. I wasn't even a fan of George early on until i seen how much ppl were trying to pass him off as an average driver for some reason. He was the original Antonelli and he proved it. Yet here we are pretending that he is average.Dunlay wrote: ↑24 Jun 2024, 17:40To his credit, he went onto become a legend.TeamKoolGreen wrote: ↑24 Jun 2024, 16:31
It has been counted. Lewis had 33 crashes in his first 5 years.
What is disappointing is the efforts to run down George as some ordinary talent. Except for a genuine couple of mistakes, his races have been squeaky clean. He doesn't push drivers off the track while battling like the other proven drivers do or mindlessly crashe into others (the only racing incident was Imola 21). This blind disregard for a strong talent makes it for awkward dicussions. I don't like to hate or disregard other drivers, because those drivers a problem for my favorite driver.

Well for my part it’s his obsession with Lewis and wanting to just finish ahead of him irrespective of what’s best for the team! I mean yes every single driver wants to finish ahead of his teammate I understand! Not to mention embarassing himself whenever he opens his mouth…
But then you look at Zandvoort 2022! That’s where it all started! The guy destroyed any chance Mercedes had of battling Max for the win by doing his own strategy just to finish ahead of Hamilton! He could have been defensive by using Hamilton’s DRS to keep Verstappen behind…yet he chose a 2nd place just so that he can finish the season ahead of Hamilton (through shear luck really)!
2023 pretty much gave everyone an answer of what happens when in equal footing with Hamilton…
