Indeed, Verstappen himself hinted at this point in saying that, "we all have no grip." It's easy to pick on relative novices like Mick Shumacher, but when the current top performing driver effectively says that "We are all in similar situations, but the rest of us don't go crashing into one another, better is expected of you," it should be a real serving of humble pie; even for someone of Russel's skills.
That Imola incident still makes me angry. No matter who is at fault for a crash, you dont go up to someone who's still in a wrecked car who could be injured and hit them, at least make sure hes ok and out of the car first.
100% agree here. He showed his a**. Knew he had the Merc drive and tried to big boy Bottas. That was a violent wreck and Bottas could have easily been hurt.
@L.internet8 the halo did nothing here. The drivers head as been protected from the side by shoulder "bars" for a long time. Even without the halo he would have been fine
It was fun watching this guy as an underdog. But after that Imola incident and hitting Valterri while the guy was still in his car, all my respect and admiration for this cocky bloke were gone.
I dont get this. Lewis, max, carlos etc or many great before them didnt take accountability for even more obvious stuff they did. Yet george seems to be the only one to get the hate?
@@Navajonkee nowhere near as much as this guy. When max ran off lewis in brazil, most of the people were somehow siding with max, even though that was the most intentional and blatant such case i've ever seen. And he took absolutely no responsibility for that. I dont see nearly as many people saying they have lost 'respect' for max for his antics in imola, monza, brazil or saudi that year, or for brazil 22 where he literally said he shunted into lewis intentionally. There is definitely some bias here whether you want to admit or not.

Don't forget the Alonso incident where he was muddling around with the steering wheel and decided to take a trip to the Australian wilderness because Fernando breaked early for the corner.
Russel sometimes bins it out of nowhere because he must be driving on his automatic instinct without expecting drastic changes that might call on his reflexes. What Alonso did was not a brake check, it was tactically slowing down, he even did this harder on other occasions, against other... more skilled drivers who detected the drastic change and avoided him, instead of forgetting how to drive and, going into the wilderness like you said.

The worst one is him again Mick Schumi in Singapore, and the whole "he's defending like it's the race of his life" well yeah he was fighting for his fuckin' career
And Jolyon Palmer (in F1TV) defending Mick simply made things more intense "not everyone has a multi year contract with Mercedes!", neither his engineer or Toto were happy with Russell that night.
The way of thinking "I'm the best and I don't make mistakes" used to be normal in F1. It was even considered a necessity to be a successful F1 driver. Times really have changed.
The wall just turned in on me (Canada, Singapore). I find it interesting after watching this one that George is so clear he wants Max in the same team. Besides Mercedes having to do serious work to get their car in order, Max might just say "I'm only coming over if the other seat is for Kimi" or something similar..
The Texas incident is one of the many examples why narrow kerbs and grass strips should be put outside corners, instead of solutions like those at Misano. Drivers shouldn't be relying on those 2 extra metres of 70% grip track, because they can get pushed out easily as they don't subsequently lose control or crash into a wall, and they can reply by driving around and off the track. You can't even state that every piece of tarmac counts as the track like in old American circuits, because in some cases (like Raidillon) that space should be reserved for crashed cars to come to a rest before the race is neutralized. So if a runoff area becomes the track, a crashed car effectively bounces in the middle of it
As a multi world champion once said "You can teach a fast driver not to crash, but you cant teach a slow driver to be fast". Im not a real Russel fan but this is racing and crashes are just part of it.
Or the start in Silverstone where he totally disregarded his bad start on hard tyres, turned into Gasly alongside him and Zhou got flipped around for that massive crash.
The only highlight was that he jumped out of his car to go look for Zhou after the accident, after the whole mess he started.(And all the cars that got involved in the accident)
@@fr3akzilla769 Yeah,there is no real way to defend his attitude,in some way,he is worst than Ocon,Ocon rarely acts as something else (sadly his ego obscures his skill),but Russell takes it to another level.
If you see your team principal doing it all the time and getting away with it, you imagine that's the play, no? Toto/Mercedes breeds this type of mindset. Mind you, Lewis was not like this when he got into F1.
This is very true but this is with most of the drivers. When hamilton turned in on russell in qatar he did first say " i have just been hit by my own team mate " and later in the post race interview he took responsibility. George does this too and he has apologised with alot of these incidents. The only one i cant find him apologise for is the singapore incident. I think he also gets a lot of hate from lewis fans of the fear that he might beat him in the standings. And obviously he never apologised for the piastri incident cause it was on purpouse and gained him time.
A Lot of people do ignore times when he does apologise and say that he never owns up to his mistakes, I wonder if they maybe don’t watch the interviews?
0:02 It's impressive how he was able to to press the radio button that quickly, in the middle of a spin when the steering wheel was rotated ~90 degrees. If the COTA runoff area was unpaved he would've never 'pushed' himself off the track lmao, this is why we need more gravel runoffs.
Why did he vehemently claim that Bottas was? Same logic. The incident itself isn't the issue, he drove on the grass, lost control, crashed into Bottas. The problem is how not only he immediately started blaming Bottas for it, but went as far as going over and HITTING him in his car. Right after a crash. And sure, drivers always blame the other one in the heat of it, but the major difference is that they tend to back down once they saw the footage. Russell doesn't. Ever. There's very obvious examples of him screwing up, and he's so far remained adamant that he wasn't at fault of any of them.
It was a race incident, the problem is that he kept on saying that it was Bottas' fault, making it even worse by getting out of his car and slapping Bottas' helmet. He doesn't need to admit he's at fault, he needs to quit being a prick.
Every driver, in the heat of the moment with adrenaline pumping, and without 27 camera angles to see what exactly happened, will deny fault immediately on the radio. It happens every race, to every driver that is involved in any incident.
@@jenperdsmonlapin6953 I guarantee you could make a 5 min montage of every driver and after every incident they will complain about what the other driver did/didnt do
I understand not taking responsibility while in the car driving. You never think it's your fault when you drive nor do you have time to think. It's just that even off track he never really accepts blame which im not a fan of
Seeing this knowing Russel is driving for Merc but Mick isnt is just kinda sad. They should just replace Russell with him, I think it would give them way more points and maybe a decent driver who learns from his mistakes for the future. Or at least give him Hamiltons seat. I mean you wont have a great car anyway in 2025, give him another chance in a car that can at least score regular points. The price money doesnt matter to mercedes either way.
Even when Mick appeared as a great guy in general with accolades in the lower Formula series,in F1 he was a Rolling Hazzard, the amount of damage HAAS had to pay in destroyed cars was immense (only in 2022,he ripped his car in two twice before the summer break,in Jeddah and Monaco),he looked like having an improvement,but being so inconsistent and crash prone made the chances of a seat renewal (at least in short term) hard for Mick,maybe he can get a chance someday,but needs to take the "Andrea De Cesaris Approach" away before that.
It's funny that back when he was considered an underdog, people actually blamed the Imola incident more on Bottas than on Russell, old comments back in 2021 on whatever channel that posted that incident will tell you that. People need to start learning that just because you consider a driver an underdog it doesn't mean you have to treat them differently to other drivers, seriously, back then people treated Russell WAY too kindly, whatever accident he caused or screwed up he did, people forgave him in record time and continued to cheer him like he was never doing anything wrong, it's pretty funny how this is the exact opposite nowadays and now those same people that used to cheer him now hate him with a passion, and the worst part is that they create dumb reasons as to why, like saying that: "he became a different driver at Mercedes" "he started changing with time" but no, he was always the same driver and person all this time, but everyone was blind about it because they wanted to see a new name go to the top and get into a good team, but funnily after he did that, everyone started disliking him more and more, this feels like back then when people non stop were praising Verstappen from 2019 to 2021 saying he deserved to get a championship and get a championship caliber car but when he got those things in 2022 suddenly people stopped with the praising that he deserved those things and now they say he makes everything boring, everyone was just asking for a Mercedes era right infront of their eyes and still complained about it, but hey I guess I shouldn't expect to find smart people in this community anymore because DTS has ruined that.
I remember a crash where he and Lewis crashed. George apologized immediately and Lewis was furious, but out of the race. Turned out it was completely Lewis his mistake. Both George, as well as Lewis simply don't really know and understand much of F1 racing, can't make much else of it.
TBF most drivers have similar responses (and personally I think its only natural). Russel might be more intense, but he is the rule rather than the exception in this blame-game.
I think the difference is when other drivers blame others over the radio they sound like they’re saying it purely to avoid penalty whereas when Russel says it you can hear in his voice he genuinely believes he has no involvement in the accident whatsoever. He’s an embarrassment to me as an English fan
In the heat of the moment? Yes. After the race, when they saw the footage? Not really. That's really the difference, Russell's ego somehow prevents him from admitting to a mistake, even if it's obvious from the replays.
@@michaelgriffiths7937 except they're not clear at all, so many times the engineer will say the driver to repeat what they said. Radios for some reason were way better in v8 era.
In all honesty that 2021 Imola Incident is what made me lose my respect for him. And then onwards from 2022 - present when he causes a collision with another driver he has the nerve to say it isn't his fault when it actually is. So he's learnt from Lewis probs.
Can't blame him. His idol and hero is Sir Lewis Hamilton 🏳️🌈_🌈. He also learnt how to act in front of press by listening to Sir Lewis'🏳️🌈 press conferences during 2014-2020 seasons. He learnt the art of saying "Our Car is very slow" from that.

Regardless Max has made multiple mistakes the past 2 years, don't be a defensive tard over a driver who doesn't know you exist.
This guy has believed his own hype since the beginning. He can’t be at fault, he’s the chosen one. I was so happy when he got that drive in Lewis’ car and got a puncture after leading the whole race.
Whoever made this video must be new to racing. No one ever takes the blame. “I think Erickson ran into the back of us” Doesn’t matter the series, could be F1, indycar or nascar. Max, Lewis, Sergio, George, none of them ever admit fault.
He's aggressive and hungry. He's fast. Allow it. Ok maybe he needs to calm down in wheel-to-wheel situations. Ok sometimes he's kinda boring. But he's a no-nonsense guy. His Williams performances made me a fan. He gets some unfair hate. I think he's had the same number of incidents as Verstappen did from 2016-2018 roughly.....we let one of them grow into a legend, let's see what Russell can do
I dislike russel but i can understand the amount of adrenaline (during a crash) really pumps you up. It makes you angry and basically takes the worst in you and doubles it.
its a shame because george is a talented driver. But he still has a lot to learn and he’s gotta be willing to admit to his mistakes Every driver makes them.
Drives on the grass, loses control and full sends his car into the side of Bottas. "Oh crickey he turned into me" and proceeds to punch Bottas in the head after highspeed crash in a show of unbelievable lack of sportmanship
I remember actually rooting for George back in his Williams days before he was announced as Bottas' replacement. Now I loathe his existence as a driver entirely.
The Bottas crash at the start of the vid was one of the worst. Russell had room but put his right tires on the wet grass and spun instantly and he still had the gall to blame Bottas.

And Jolyon Palmer (in F1TV) defending Mick simply made things more intense "not everyone has a multi year contract with Mercedes!", neither his engineer or Toto were happy with Russell that night.
The way of thinking "I'm the best and I don't make mistakes" used to be normal in F1. It was even considered a necessity to be a successful F1 driver. Times really have changed.
Noicely done yelistener, noicely done.
He should make one about max next, because I've never seen him admit responsibility for a crash either.
Lollipopman fan confirmed.
I'm also a fellow fan here. 🙋🏽♂️

George "wall-magnet" Russell
The wall just turned in on me (Canada, Singapore). I find it interesting after watching this one that George is so clear he wants Max in the same team. Besides Mercedes having to do serious work to get their car in order, Max might just say "I'm only coming over if the other seat is for Kimi" or something similar..
The Texas incident is one of the many examples why narrow kerbs and grass strips should be put outside corners, instead of solutions like those at Misano.
Drivers shouldn't be relying on those 2 extra metres of 70% grip track, because they can get pushed out easily as they don't subsequently lose control or crash into a wall, and they can reply by driving around and off the track.
You can't even state that every piece of tarmac counts as the track like in old American circuits, because in some cases (like Raidillon) that space should be reserved for crashed cars to come to a rest before the race is neutralized. So if a runoff area becomes the track, a crashed car effectively bounces in the middle of it
Russell has learnt well from Lewis opting to smash into cars instead of racing them 😂😂😂
I think you can easily find 3 Incidients, from any Driver in the Field, blaming someone else for theyr Mistake.
As a multi world champion once said "You can teach a fast driver not to crash, but you cant teach a slow driver to be fast".
Im not a real Russel fan but this is racing and crashes are just part of it.
Couldn’t have clicked faster when I saw that title
Or the start in Silverstone where he totally disregarded his bad start on hard tyres, turned into Gasly alongside him and Zhou got flipped around for that massive crash.
The only highlight was that he jumped out of his car to go look for Zhou after the accident, after the whole mess he started.(And all the cars that got involved in the accident)
@@DerpSherman and hoped that he was allowed to restart the race after all that...
@@fr3akzilla769 Yeah,there is no real way to defend his attitude,in some way,he is worst than Ocon,Ocon rarely acts as something else (sadly his ego obscures his skill),but Russell takes it to another level.
2:05 - Have you seen that hole?
- What hole?
- This hole!
- ... Must have been a wind
To be fair, this is pretty much any driver from any Motorsport. It’s rare to hear a driver take blame
I love alll your videos but i love this one the most!
0:36 this image as so much quality
I know you are very sarcastic. 😆😆😆😆😆
Masterpiece
He's too smart to receive penalties
Too bri'ish mate
He really is convinced he is the smartest man alive. It is almost funny.
If you see your team principal doing it all the time and getting away with it, you imagine that's the play, no? Toto/Mercedes breeds this type of mindset.
Mind you, Lewis was not like this when he got into F1.
This is very true but this is with most of the drivers. When hamilton turned in on russell in qatar he did first say " i have just been hit by my own team mate " and later in the post race interview he took responsibility. George does this too and he has apologised with alot of these incidents. The only one i cant find him apologise for is the singapore incident. I think he also gets a lot of hate from lewis fans of the fear that he might beat him in the standings. And obviously he never apologised for the piastri incident cause it was on purpouse and gained him time.
A Lot of people do ignore times when he does apologise and say that he never owns up to his mistakes, I wonder if they maybe don’t watch the interviews?
“What the fuck is he doing!?” Yes George you took the words out of my mouth 😂
0:02 It's impressive how he was able to to press the radio button that quickly, in the middle of a spin when the steering wheel was rotated ~90 degrees. If the COTA runoff area was unpaved he would've never 'pushed' himself off the track lmao, this is why we need more gravel runoffs.
It’s never their fault, all drivers. Not only George, f1 drivers, gt drivers, but literally every drivers.
Dude is going to be the next Lance Stroll.
Why would Russell admit he's at fault in Imola when the stewards called it a racing incident? He didn't get a penalty for it.
Why did he vehemently claim that Bottas was? Same logic. The incident itself isn't the issue, he drove on the grass, lost control, crashed into Bottas. The problem is how not only he immediately started blaming Bottas for it, but went as far as going over and HITTING him in his car. Right after a crash.
And sure, drivers always blame the other one in the heat of it, but the major difference is that they tend to back down once they saw the footage. Russell doesn't. Ever. There's very obvious examples of him screwing up, and he's so far remained adamant that he wasn't at fault of any of them.
It was a race incident, the problem is that he kept on saying that it was Bottas' fault, making it even worse by getting out of his car and slapping Bottas' helmet. He doesn't need to admit he's at fault, he needs to quit being a prick.
I'm like that myself. I get angry easily and that anger comes by actions of other people 99.99% of the time.
Every driver, in the heat of the moment with adrenaline pumping, and without 27 camera angles to see what exactly happened, will deny fault immediately on the radio. It happens every race, to every driver that is involved in any incident.
No it doesnt. Georges is a specialist and he also is one of the biggest whiners on the grid.
@@jenperdsmonlapin6953 I guarantee you could make a 5 min montage of every driver and after every incident they will complain about what the other driver did/didnt do
Except in all of these crashes, he obviously reviewed the footages with the team, and STILL blames other shit. Crazy
@@thisisnotmyname91 thats true I agree and I cringe everytime I hear these cry babies but I think Georges is the worst of them all
George's been kinda quiet since this dropped 😬
George 🤝 Sainz 🤝 Stroll: blaming other drivers for their mistakes
add perez too
Where’s Hamilton?
@@memolano100just no
WHEN THE FUCK DID SAINZ AND PEREZ BLAME OTHERS !?
@@memolano100Lewis takes responsibility for incidents that are his fault more often than you think. Silverstone 2021 is the clear outlier tho
Russell: *drives into a wall*
"Honestrly guys the wall cut me off, what is wrong with this prick?"
I understand not taking responsibility while in the car driving. You never think it's your fault when you drive nor do you have time to think. It's just that even off track he never really accepts blame which im not a fan of
Seeing this knowing Russel is driving for Merc but Mick isnt is just kinda sad. They should just replace Russell with him, I think it would give them way more points and maybe a decent driver who learns from his mistakes for the future. Or at least give him Hamiltons seat. I mean you wont have a great car anyway in 2025, give him another chance in a car that can at least score regular points. The price money doesnt matter to mercedes either way.
Even when Mick appeared as a great guy in general with accolades in the lower Formula series,in F1 he was a Rolling Hazzard, the amount of damage HAAS had to pay in destroyed cars was immense (only in 2022,he ripped his car in two twice before the summer break,in Jeddah and Monaco),he looked like having an improvement,but being so inconsistent and crash prone made the chances of a seat renewal (at least in short term) hard for Mick,maybe he can get a chance someday,but needs to take the "Andrea De Cesaris Approach" away before that.
With respect, despite being a Schumacher, and the leverage that gives you, Mick lacked the performance to stay in *Hass,* nevermind replace George.
He learned a lot from his countrymen, like Hamilton.
It's funny that back when he was considered an underdog, people actually blamed the Imola incident more on Bottas than on Russell, old comments back in 2021 on whatever channel that posted that incident will tell you that.
People need to start learning that just because you consider a driver an underdog it doesn't mean you have to treat them differently to other drivers, seriously, back then people treated Russell WAY too kindly, whatever accident he caused or screwed up he did, people forgave him in record time and continued to cheer him like he was never doing anything wrong, it's pretty funny how this is the exact opposite nowadays and now those same people that used to cheer him now hate him with a passion, and the worst part is that they create dumb reasons as to why, like saying that: "he became a different driver at Mercedes" "he started changing with time" but no, he was always the same driver and person all this time, but everyone was blind about it because they wanted to see a new name go to the top and get into a good team, but funnily after he did that, everyone started disliking him more and more, this feels like back then when people non stop were praising Verstappen from 2019 to 2021 saying he deserved to get a championship and get a championship caliber car but when he got those things in 2022 suddenly people stopped with the praising that he deserved those things and now they say he makes everything boring, everyone was just asking for a Mercedes era right infront of their eyes and still complained about it, but hey I guess I shouldn't expect to find smart people in this community anymore because DTS has ruined that.
I remember a crash where he and Lewis crashed. George apologized immediately and Lewis was furious, but out of the race.
Turned out it was completely Lewis his mistake.
Both George, as well as Lewis simply don't really know and understand much of F1 racing, can't make much else of it.
Blimey! Crikey!
Noicely done. Noicely done!
@@CDNChaoZ Get in there George! 😉
COTA 2022 Lap 1, Turn 1, “He just turned into me!” 😂😂😂😂
"The wall just turned into me!!"
- Russell surely
TBF most drivers have similar responses (and personally I think its only natural). Russel might be more intense, but he is the rule rather than the exception in this blame-game.
I think the difference is when other drivers blame others over the radio they sound like they’re saying it purely to avoid penalty whereas when Russel says it you can hear in his voice he genuinely believes he has no involvement in the accident whatsoever. He’s an embarrassment to me as an English fan
@@michaelgriffiths7937 judging by the way he said on the radio of an f1 car? Seriously?
@@devangjat3166 you can’t tell a person’s demeanour through an F1 radio? I think they’re pretty clear nowadays
In the heat of the moment? Yes. After the race, when they saw the footage? Not really. That's really the difference, Russell's ego somehow prevents him from admitting to a mistake, even if it's obvious from the replays.
@@michaelgriffiths7937 except they're not clear at all, so many times the engineer will say the driver to repeat what they said. Radios for some reason were way better in v8 era.
In all honesty that 2021 Imola Incident is what made me lose my respect for him. And then onwards from 2022 - present when he causes a collision with another driver he has the nerve to say it isn't his fault when it actually is.
So he's learnt from Lewis probs.
...added with George's charm, most people kinda gave in to him
Even tho it was russells fault in baku, had he not locked up he mightve just about gotten away with not making contact
CRIKEY
yelistener has some personal vendetta against Russel 😁
based
There was one more in Singapore last year, when the wall turned into Russell, gave him a puncture and pushed him off the road.
If you see a Mercedes, you don't try to overtake.
Russel take that to heart.
Noicely dun, George, noicely dun!
Can't blame him. His idol and hero is Sir Lewis Hamilton 🏳️🌈_🌈.
He also learnt how to act in front of press by listening to Sir Lewis'🏳️🌈 press conferences during 2014-2020 seasons. He learnt the art of saying "Our Car is very slow" from that.
Anan thu BACK to CRYING about Lewis 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Crying because alonslow was OWNED by him since 07

@@AZBCDEEbro who inserted a stick up your "cake" lil bro😭😭😭💀💀💀
This is also why road rage exists. It's always the other drivers fault.
I think you are the right person to answer my question I have been trying research everywhere. What is that whining noise from a Redbull or Apline (2021 car)? Is that from Turbo charger or gears?
George gets unnecessary hate. Find me one driver who takes accountability over the radio, it's never their fault. He just gets the hate because he's posh and british
Same rule as Max
i dunno man im charles fans but i can see ever since 2021 max rarely get into trouble even when he start at the back of the grid
@@Dendyaryadi Max has been by far the best driver + car combination since 2021 so he probably has no reason to drive aggressively and get into trouble when he can win by pure pace
When was the last time Max had an incident? Lewis fans are delusional. Just last race weekend, Lewis crashed into 3 drivers.
@@TheAYM91 amazing, Lewis isn't mentioned anywhere yet Verstappen's insecure fanbase still needs to bring him up. It's not healthy letting a man live in your head rent free for so long.
Regardless Max has made multiple mistakes the past 2 years, don't be a defensive tard over a driver who doesn't know you exist.
@@JuicedOnKids Like what? and why not get mad at the guy that suddenly brings Max into the picture? Bit of a "Defensive tard" yourself mate?
0:37 - 0:45 i like how russel ripped the fabric of space time continuum
This guy has believed his own hype since the beginning. He can’t be at fault, he’s the chosen one. I was so happy when he got that drive in Lewis’ car and got a puncture after leading the whole race.
Whoever made this video must be new to racing. No one ever takes the blame. “I think Erickson ran into the back of us”
Doesn’t matter the series, could be F1, indycar or nascar. Max, Lewis, Sergio, George, none of them ever admit fault.
Even the commentators blamed Russell for the crash with Mick in Singapore
I absolutely hate people that blame everyone else apart from themselves.
Russell is the type of guy that always blames George
He's aggressive and hungry. He's fast. Allow it. Ok maybe he needs to calm down in wheel-to-wheel situations. Ok sometimes he's kinda boring. But he's a no-nonsense guy. His Williams performances made me a fan. He gets some unfair hate. I think he's had the same number of incidents as Verstappen did from 2016-2018 roughly.....we let one of them grow into a legend, let's see what Russell can do
There was an incident with George at a French GP where he pushed his way on the inside and understeered and pushed the other car off the track.
To be fair you could make the same video for every driver on the grid
He was so much humbler before…
I dislike russel but i can understand the amount of adrenaline (during a crash) really pumps you up.
It makes you angry and basically takes the worst in you and doubles it.
its a shame because george is a talented driver. But he still has a lot to learn and he’s gotta be willing to admit to his mistakes Every driver makes them.
That’s some dangerous driving man
You forgot France 2022
Drives on the grass, loses control and full sends his car into the side of Bottas. "Oh crickey he turned into me" and proceeds to punch Bottas in the head after highspeed crash in a show of unbelievable lack of sportmanship
I liked him until Melbourne 2024 (Alonso's fan here).
I remember actually rooting for George back in his Williams days before he was announced as Bottas' replacement. Now I loathe his existence as a driver entirely.
The Bottas crash at the start of the vid was one of the worst. Russell had room but put his right tires on the wet grass and spun instantly and he still had the gall to blame Bottas.
“Red flag red flag red flag! I’m in the middle of the track”
The only red flag is George himself.
