i think they should do a bachelor style competition to find george's next teammate. who is it going to be folks? childhood bff and boy next door alex albon, sugar daddy super villain who will burn the world down for you fernando alonso, jaded and smoking hot bad boy who is just looking for a little love (a seat) carlos sainz, academic rival who has a french accent and will use it esteban ocon and more! coming soon...
there are some things to be said about the way sebastian left and the way carlos is leaving. there are some things to be said about coming home and finding your suitcase, packed, by the door. by a team you adore and you have bled for. but well
imagine you drive for mercedes in formula 1. you did all the right moves to get here, played by all the rules and payed your dues. you started at williams and earned your place on the mercedes team. sure it's annoying having to play second fiddle to your 7 time WDC teammate, but you know that upon his retirement you can pull some strings and bring your childhood best friend onto the team. nothing can go wrong, you're sure of it, you've known each other for too long, been on holidays together and shared hotel rooms. you'll be best friends, driving for mercedes in formula 1.
who am i talking about? well there are two options that fit the narrative. nico rosberg or george russell.
