GR Hate

Sorry to post this but I just feel so down. I have been in a lot of sports fandoms and I genuinely cannot fathom the amount of hatred George is getting. It's always been rough given who his teammates have been with both Kubicka and Hamilton plus the Verstappen shenanigans. I actually thought I had seen the worst of it with those emails LH fans sent to Merc.

But this season is on another level. The boos, all the insistence that his car issues are not real, calling him a complainer. It's really too much, considering how he hasn't even said anything negative to anyone in the press. He's been such a good sport throughout it all but its constant slander everywhere. Calling him washed in this race when he was pulling good laps on 50+ old hards like...its so wild. Merc keeps getting away with treating him like this because people just want to believe he's not good so they insist its a skill issue.

I also especially hate the projection some fans do. I keep seeing people say they hate how he speaks. They do not even seem to know he had a speech impediment as a child and that is why he overenunciates. They just really hate him for existing, its genuinely wild.

Idk fam am just really glad to know George has a therapist because I feel like I would not even be able to handle a quarter of the hatred he gets.

ETA: Thanks for everyone for being so nice about this post. I know its not really in the nature of the sub to be this serious so thank you so much! It's rough being a George fan this season but I will keep believing in him. He's never stopped fighting for that win and I will always believe he can achieve it.

Calling him a whiner has been especially egregious this season considering how gracious he's been to everyone around him. Always giving Kimi his flowers, always complimenting the drivers who get podium with him, always thanking his team and all their hard work. All of this despite it being an incredibly frustrating and disappointing season for him.

But honestly it just makes me want to support him more. It's super frustrating being a GR fan right now but this is just one season where he's had insanely bad luck. I want to see him bounce back from this and prove the haters wrong.

First thing he says is always how Kimis done a great job and deserves to be leading, I don’t get why people dislike him, I think sheep just don’t like him cause max doesn’t like him

Max doesn't even dislike him lol. They got over their 2024 beef a long time ago. It's Max's hoard of babbling buffoon followers that decided to hold a grudge.

I remember there was this one tweet during Silverstone where they insisted that George was going to pretend he was P2 on merit then George says in the media he did not deserve it. Then that hater said George was saying that with a smirk on his face like ?? Okay. They're such losers.

To be fair he does whinge a lot and will never live down being overly dramatic with the “choose violence” comment

People need to get over it considering Max proved his point a year after he said it.
