i stand w my cancelled wife (george russell)

george russell, head of the gdpa, was literally trying to action something as small as ensuring there was showering facilities for the drivers at every grand prix last year…and no one would back him!! one of the drivers literally said: "we should make sure there’s a hairdryer at every event just for george’s use" like you really think they’re going to george and carlos and actually trying to come together to make change?? that would actually require they step out of their own little bubble and do something difficult, like prepare an actual proposal, organize a strike, actually convey their reservations without devolving into swearing and shouting.

the persistent idea that the gpda is useless, or should be disbanded, or that george and carlos are using it to enact their own personal grievances against certain drivers (specifically max) is laughable. george only took the job because nobody else could be bothered to do it. it’s not george that is not taking the job seriously, it is literally everyone else! at the end of the day, none of the other drivers really care to utilize the gdpa correctly; it’s too much work for them, they don’t care, they don’t want to be involved in making the sport "too woke".
