if they cancel the Monaco results im calling my firstborn FIA

🚨 At Mercedes, the front wing is adjusted via a central mechanism hidden in the nose. To change the flap's angle of attack, a mechanic uses a type of cordless screwdriver with a long attachment to turn the adjusting screw. The direction and number of turns can be programmed into the tool before servicing. - Apparently, the special tool didn't make the flap flatter, but steeper. As a result, George didn't have the desired reduction in downforce on the front axle, but rather more. This caused his rear end to slide in the corners. - On the asphalt, which was over 50 degrees Celsius, this meant not only a loss of grip, but also increased tire wear. [AMuS]

you must be kidding me im sorry what

At this point I would take lekirks luck over Georges

"Aston need Fernando than other way around" 😂😂😂 Aston has Newey

George has a perfect understanding of the situation, unlike Wolff. The unforgivable mistake was not covering Lewis’s strategy. Especially on a track where the undercut is so powerful.

【Was Mercedes once again prioritizing AKA at the expense of GR on strategy? They didn’t even inform him, which may have cost him opportunities to push when it mattered】 GR: I was managing in that first stint. You could've given me the heads up. You've exposed me to Kimi now! Marcus: I don't think it's going to be long for everyone. GR: I need an update on the plan then. Are we moving to a 3, you think? Marcus: Still on plan here, George. Nothing to worry about here.

george: “[the race] was not straightforward at all, to be honest. i think the three-stop probably would have suited my style a little bit better, because i was struggling a lot towards the end of the stints. so, yeah, i just take the positives away. it was a clean friday, clean saturday and came away with 18 points, which is 18 more than i've done in the last two races.”

📻 | Marcus: “Ok, so P2" George: “Tough race, sorry for Kimi" Hes way too kind ☹️ #F1 #BarcelonaGP

Where it all started… once again poor communication and unable to commit to a strategy.

Does George deserve that P2? No, but I'll take it so every other bad luck that happened to him. But man...he needs to sort his pace out. Groove is clearly not enough.

happy with the 18 points, but there's still some things to sort out for him here 👍

GR 💬 : Every single lap we've done this week, every session, every lap, we've been in the top 2 positions. And that is, even if Lewis pipped us to pole today, I'd have still been super happy, with being back in this groove, this mojo, kind of at one with the car.

What a lap, George! 🩵

🚨Toto on George: 🗣️"He's been strong all weekend. He's gone back to basics, to set up the car mechanically and electronically how he wanted it, how he started the season, and in every single session he was absolutely strong. If I had had a favourite for this Pole, it would have been him."

so proud of him 🩵
