blues.

i think they are not really seen together much, no, but their dynamic goes super hard. not just the fact with their families and fathers, but also how toto treated them both, and how he drops drivers once he finds a new "golden boy".

and then, of course, sakhir 2020. when toto decided to call up george instead of este, and it was an awful race for george bc merc fumbled, while este got his first f1 podium.

and ofc este never holding a grudge over it all; he has said george's time will come in 2020, he spoke up how it would be insane if he ended up with no seat on the grid.

how este won hungary, and toto only called him three days later to congratulate him, while george got a questionable podium in spa 21 (since it was quali positions and no race happened) and toto celebrated it insanely, while both of them were still merc associated drivers in other teams.

when este got george for secret santa, he got him a drum with a brazilian flag, since george won his first ever gp there.

george has said in the past he would have liked to be teammates with este (2019).

i think when it was announced lewis was leaving and este was no longer going to drive for alpine, we had a perfect opportunity for this lineup. sadly toto hates sexy things.
