@Hickeroar
November 25, 2025 at 1:38 pm
George is the most underrated driver? Really? That’s a bizarre take. It’s generally accepted that he’s overall a really good driver. If anything he’s actually gotten a little worse lately. He pushes too hard when his emotions get high and he has a tendency to burn through tires, brakes, etc. He wasn’t doing that earlier in the season.

Toto- you (and your amazing wife Susie) are my favorite part of F1. Love you! And George is my favorite driver. Great personalities and ethos across the board.
