For serious, though, I pointed out after Austin last year that cutting across the entire track at the first turn of the first lap is awful racecraft from Sainz, and got shouted down by Russell-haters.

    It seemed to me that everyone liked Russell when he was in Williams. He would occasionally out drive the fuck out the car, but, once it was obvious he was taking bottas’ seat, he started coming off as douchey . Him yelling at Bottas for his own mistake of running into the grass was kinda the turning point. Also saying that a Mercedes shouldn’t be fighting for 9th, then fighting for 9th the next year in the same seat was karma. He also complained that schumacher was fighting for his life, which he was, while defending 12th or whatever it was. The internet never forgets Georgey
