It was NEVER about skill issues.

George Russell comfortably won Australia and led everything in P1 up until China qualifying.

It was NEVER about driving styles.

What makes it ten times worse is their blatant lack of accountability. Publicly dismissing your driver when he says something is wrong with the car? Tell me this isn't clown behaviour? All it does is fuel the fire for the media and toxic fans to question his abilities instead of addressing the literal issues.

If the issues happened three times in ten races? Fine. New regulations, shit happens. But we're talking every. single. weekend. The moment one fire is put out, and another one starts. It’s not just a "he'll bounce" back. I've seen pure dominance when his car was fine. It's not this car doesn't suit his driving style. It’s pure negligence. This is arguably the most crucial season of his career. He is finally fighting for a championship, and the team is dragging their feet to fix or at least discover the issue? I know the team works hard, but does working hard pay off?

Instead of trusting the driver who is actually feeling the car on track, they blame him. The media and fans eat it up because looking at actual data is too much work for them, only for the team to quietly admit weeks later that shocker the driver was right all along it WAS ON US MY BAD.

Look at the other side of the garage. When their driver complain, the team doesn't question his driving style they rush to find what's wrong and fix it. There is actual trust and urgency there they're aware this isn't just any other season where all they care about is scoring podiums and a couple of wins and it's a season were they have a huge chance in battling and winning the championship, which is why they’re running away with it. The other garage has the exact same resources, so what is the excuse? This goes beyond incompetence.

I don’t remember Z*k Br*wn last year ever jumping on the radio to publicly dismiss his drivers' complaints, but he still gets his fare share of criticism.

Wendy (Interviewer): It feels like the public can be quite harsh on you sometimes, and it feels like there is a double standard. For example, when you speak up about one better kind of facility for the drivers, people label that as complaining, and you are a professional deliverer to the media, being called too PR. Many fans find that very unfair and frustrating. And they feel like, just like anyone who truly follows your journey, they see you as a very honest, dedicated, and just simply maintain a very high professionalism. So, do you ever feel a bit painful to see all your genuine intentions being twisted like that? 

George: I think unfortunately that's the world we live in, and everybody has their right to their own opinion. And often a lot of these people who make these comments, they don't know me, they're not my fans, they don't know my journey or my values. So, I think it's also important not to take that to heart as well, because I see so much love as well, which I really appreciate, and the things that aren't so positive, it doesn't affect me. So, as I said, unfortunately that is the world we live in at the moment, where everybody has something negative to say. But I stand by my values, I stand by my people, my fans, and that's what means the most to me.

Wendy: Do you have words to your fans who feel unfair?
