Never seen a driver as lucky as Russell. Doesn’t do anything yet ended up in podium.
Sure :) I mean seeing this whole season has definitely proved us that russell is a lucky driver!!
In china, George suffered a front wing failure in Q2 followed by a mysterious gearbox and electronics issue in Q3 that briefly stalled his Mercedes on track. Making him 2nd non the less in the race.
In Japan, George had a race-derailing software bug. The glitch forced his car into a charging mode in defense against Charles Leclerc. Making him place 4th.
In Miami, George struggled with understeer, overheating tires in twisty sections, and a lack of front-end grip compared to his teammate. Making him end up 4th.
In Canada, George Russell even tho he had mastered a well deserved pole position in qualifying , he suffered a race-ending catastrophic battery failure on Lap 30 while leading during the race. The issue completely shut down the car's electronics and power, which suddenly left him without engine power or proper braking. Resulting in a dnf.
In Monaco, George Russell's race was derailed by a botched penalty execution. After an initial penalty for pit-lane speeding, his Mercedes team failed to hold the car for the mandatory five seconds during a pit stop, resulting in a severe drive-through penalty that dropped him to 13th.
In Barcelona, George Russell's race was compromised by a severe oversteer issue caused by a pit stop error. Mercedes revealed that a faulty adjuster gun incorrectly set his front wing flap during his final stop, which ruined the car's aerodynamic balance and made the rear tires slide. Going from 1st to 2nd.
In Austria, George Russell secured a win at the Austrian Grand Prix despite suffering a severe water system failure in his Mercedes that left him unable to take on fluids for the duration of the race.
But yeah, George is incredibly lucky this season and has had every podium handed to him, You’re absolutely correct 😄
