Hmmm while I agree with good portions of this, Iām not sure āmercedesā wants to drop george little by little out in the cold.
I think the point here is: who is the āmercedesā talked about here?
@georgegraphys talked about a scission going on (I would say between the boards and the team) , so if with āmercedesā we mean toto wolff and the f1 team, then yes. Itās not like toto would drop george like a stone, but he definitely would back and push the most convenient narrative and driver for himself and the teamās image.
But is kimi the future of totoās mercedes? A mercedes whose PUs are unreliable at most, whose strat team is mediocre at best, whose PR management is maybe targeting george, but has always been mediocre even when lewis was still there?
Mediocre is the definition of totoās mercedes.
They are not the shiny little thing niki lauda and ross brawn propelled forward. That one is long gone now, and sorry for language but you can polish a turd all you want, it will still remain a turd.
So toto is definitely trying to sell off his own new version of this āmercedesā, a young! Fresh! One, but is it really working? Iāve never seen their socmed more in shambles, Iāve never seen george get this much backing even from people youād never expect, from opposite teams.
Now, the other āmercedesā we are not seeing is the boardās version, and these guys are definitely not toto wolff. Some of them even donāt like toto or his ways of working, and this is also to be taken into consideration.
This other mercedes also really likes george, uses him for sponsor days (not kimi), is in regular contact with george and backs him through the darkest times.
This other mercedes doesnāt really want george to leave, but Iād bet they wouldnāt really care if toto left.
So to me? Whst we are seeing, even towards george, is not the beginning of a long drop, but punishment? Of some kind, because george maybe is not really disliked by some within that team, while some others who might be now in a more vulnerable position than him, do.
In two cents? I donāt expect george to leave or get dropped by āmercedesā anytime soon.
Bro I wish he left!ššš
But other inviduals? Are not there for the long run. Or might last way less than george.
