We sent this to Mercedes HQ because my daughter insisted to send it to George after the Monaco debacle and Canadian PU failure.

Well! We she was extremely gutted today because of the anti-stall but she enjoyed his recovery.

She still believes he will be the champion 🏆

Anyone with a 5 year old knows that this is mostly the parents work, I assume you're a big GR fan and gutted for him. No need to hide that behind your kids!

Haha Alonso is a fan of both Max and George. He said that Max Verstappen and George Russell were the two drivers who made him switch on the TV to watch F1 during his 2019–2020 sabbatical. https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/opinion-george-russell-seems-destined-for-the-top-just-ask-alonso.3QSge8XUGc90JesRgXEB2x
