Carlos
I think we should talk about fish
Kimi
Fish?
Liam
Why fish?
Franco
???
Isack
why are these your thoughts on a random monday afternoon?
Charles
Where does this come from?
LANDO
I don´t think we should talk about fish
Realy. Lets not
Alex
In what respect? Fishing, as a source of food or out of curiosity about marine biology?
Oscar
As a kid I had a phase where I was obsessed with fish
Isack
Really?
Oscar
I liked fish
LANDO
Cute
Carlos
I think fish are interesting
Alex
But why?
Gabi
That’s so random
Pierre
I can’t believe we talk about fish here
Arvid
I love some salmon in my pasta
Liam
or in sushi
Charles
Fish tacos can be pretty tasty
Ollie
Only if they´re done right
Valtteri
I think it's very progressive that male seahorses carry the baby’s
Isack
Are seahorses feminist?
Alex
I don't think seahorses live in a patriarchal system
Kimi
Dolphins are cute
Oscar
Dolphins aren’t fish. They´re actually mammals
LANDO
You´re so clever @Oscar
Max
No unnecessary flirting in the group chat
Alex
You´re one to talk
Charles
By the way, where´s your better half?
Carlos
You´re right. He didn’t complain even though we talk about fish
LANDO
Can’t believe that
Oscar
What? That George hasn’t complained or that we talk about fish?
LANDO
Both
Kimi
@Max Do you know where George is?
Max
You don’t know?
Kimi
I texted him this morning but he didn’t answer
Alex
You both don´t know where he is?
Max
I know where he is, but I haven’t talked to him the whole day
LANDO
Should we be worried?
Max
I don’t think so
Carlos
George loves to complain about us because we use the group chat for everything except F1-related topics. It´s weird that he´s quiet
Hulk
Maybe you should be worried
https://motorsports-f1-magazine//38dwho=3dh227/3hdk/html
That popped up while I was searching for restaurants
Liam
That’s not spam, is it?
Hulk
I´m old but I know what´s fake and what’s real
Gabi
I will not comment on that
Oscar
Looks real
LANDO
That´s a serios sports magazine. I heard of them
Ollie
and the article is about George. Maybe he´s quiet because of that?
Max
Some dumb story as always? What has he done this time?
Alex
Let me read it
Hulk
This isn’t the normal annoying fake news
Oscar
Oh
Charles
Fuck
Alex
This is different
Kimi
George is manipulative and makes fun of rookies because he´s scared they might steal his seat?
That’s nonsense
@George Russell You know that this is nonsense?
Liam
That’s a really hurtful way to describe him
Isack
He knows exactly what people want to see and only unleashes the beast if he knows there are no cameras or microphones directed at him?
What kind of rubbish is that? Like he´s the devil or some kind of evil being
LANDO
Selfish? Arrogant? Deceitful? Our George? Father George?
Bullshit
Arvid
Why do they portrait George like a villain if they clearly know he isn’t anything like that?
Charles
That´s not the normal amount of crazy. That´s downright defamation
Gabi
I don’t understand why anyone would write that?
Hulk
Sensationalism. You hear a rumor somewhere, sprinkle your article with a few proven truths and just like that you get people's attention
Ollie
I always forget how disgusting journalists can be
Max
Fuck them
Alex
@Max?
Max
Fuck this journalist
Fuck this article
Fuck people that spread lies
Oscar
I don’t think these people will ever change. Spreading lies gives them some kind of kick
LANDO
@George Russell You ok?
Charles
Don´t read the article and don’t listen to a word they wrote
Kimi
We all know how you are and real fans will know too!
Carlos
@George Russell?
Ollie
I can’t imagine what´s going through your head right now. When you're portrayed as a completely different person with entirely different values
LANDO
That’s all trash and bullshit
Oscar
Maybe we shouldn’t talk about this in the group chat?
Liam
We talk about everything in this group chat
Gabi
It’s too late anyways
Alex
@Max You heard anything from George? He doesn’t pick up the phone
Max
I´m at his door but he doesn’t open
LANDO
@George Russell You want me to come over? Oscar is with me, we can get you some unhealthy food and sweets?
Max
You think that works? I´m his boyfriend and he doesn’t want to talk to me
Oscar
Hey, no need to get angry. We all try to help here
Max
It pisses me off so much that a single person can undermine our reputation and make us doubt ourselves
Charles
That’s how being famous works
Max
Thank fuck. I didn’t know that
Carlos
Calm down @Max. It doesn’t help George if you start fighting with us
Max
It doesn’t help George if I don’t so fuck it. Fuck you all
LANDO
Chill
Max
I can’t chill if I don’t know how George is
Kimi
You love him so you will do everything to know he´s okay
Max
I fucking will …
George Russell
Hey, so I’m alright.
No need to be worried.
Kimi
Because we don't worry anymore when you say that
George Russell
All good
Alex
You know who says all good?
People that are in fact not good
Pierre
It’s okay to be down
Franco
or angry
Oscar
I would be fuming
George Russell
I´m not angry
LANDO
Come on, tell us the truth
You cannot feel nothing. Not after what these idiots wrote about you
George Russell
According to the article I´m really good at that
Feeling nothing and being a manipulative bastard
Alex
You are neither of those things
George Russell
Oh, am I not? Or is that just what I want you to think
Carlos
George …
Max
Fuck it. Be bitchy, be sarcastic, be annoyed. Just feel, schatje.
Allow yourself these feelings, whatever they may be
George Russell
No. I won´t go around raging. That just reinforces the image those damn journalists are painting of me.
Charles
You can do whatever you want
Liam
That image is wrong though
Nando
Just because you´re famous you don’t stop being human. Nobody is perfect
Max
George is perfect
LANDO
You know we love you
Kimi
You know that we know the real you. The caring, funny, kind George
Carlos
Let the haters hate. They know shit
Lewis H
You deserve happiness and to be yourself, whether you want to cry or want to scream in a situation like this. No article and no false accusations can change the real you. The version we and everyone with just a little bit of common sense sees
*George Russelll added Lance to F1 Drivers 2026*
Ollie
That’s very random? But you cope how you need to
Arvid
Didn’t even know he wasn’t in the group chat anymore
Nando
I think he left because we texted too much
George Russell
He texted me privately and that was weird. As much as I hate it we text through this group chat, whatever topic it’s about. Even something like that.
Kimi
💙💙💙💙
Alex
I knew you liked our rambling
George Russell
Don´t overdo it
Alex
💙💙💙💙
Lance
Okay, so all I said was that I talked to my dad and he´s trying to get the article taken down
LANDO
Rare Lance W
Max
Don’t be an asshole when Lance is nice
LANDO
You´re one to talk
George Russelll
Guys, no fighting
LANDO
Sorry
Max
Sorry
Oscar
That’s really thoughtful of you @Lance
Lance
At the end of the day we are all on the same team when it comes to these issues
Pierre
I love you all
LANDO
Now we´re getting emotional
Pierre
Its just so fucking nice to see us all stick together for George
@George Russell I love you man
Max
Okay
George Russell
Appreciate it
Oscar
You feel any better @George Russell?
Kimi
We´re here for you
George Russell
Tbh not really. I´m angry and somehow scared. People love to hate and this article seems to put a target on me. Another reason to not like George Russell
Alex
We know. That’s fucked up
LANDO
If you need anything let us know
Max
Maybe, and I really don’t want to pressure you here, open the door for me. The food I got is getting gold and the drinks warm
George Russell
You´re still outside? I didn’t hear anything for the past 10 minutes
Max
I knew you needed some time and didn’t want to impose
George Russell
My god, max
Kimi
Was that a good my god?
Ollie
I hope so
Isack
They haven’t answered for a few minutes so he hopefully let him in
Hulk
I really hate that people can post all kinds of things about us and there's always someone who actually believes it
Checo
Anyone that believes George is anything but generous and nice doesn’t have a clue how George is

Max
He´s good. We ate something and talked about the article and how he wants to keep going after that
Oscar
How does he want to keep going?
Max
One step at a time. Right now he rests and after that, we will talk with a lawyer I know
Alex
Good. He shouldn't put up with that
Lewis H
All the best @George Russell
LANDO
sleep well g dawg

George Russell
Thank you @all. It´s nice knowing you got my back.
And @Max, don´t talk about me like I’m not a part of this group
Max
Sorry
Not sorry
love you, schatje
George Russell
Love you too
LANDO
😭
Carlos
🤮
