    This magic sweat band will help you lose 1.5kg easily.

  2. No George, lean in the middle sector was about fuel saving…

    1. Clever. Sorry to be technical, but George was weighed after draining out all fuel. So fuel saving wouldn’t have saved George from the disqualification

  3. And if you wear this we can remove 1.5KG of ballast from the car

  4. Mercedes claim Russell’s four-pack was to blame for being underweight at Spa.

  5. George displays high plank wear, demonstrating he is thinnerthan two short ones

    Middle management didn’t have all the answers, but they were able to offer a sticking-plaster solution.

  7. Also ran on George, the CrowdStrike patch was buggy.

  8. Or:
    Sunday morning in Spa: “Hey George, CrowdStrike just released a new patch. Works 100%.”

  9. Sorry George we have to stick the hair back on otherwise we will be underweight again

  10. See, I have lost 1.5 kg of flab. But don’t tell it to the team yet, it’s a surprise.

  11. Holy Moly, he wears a posture belt!

    George got nervous when he heard ABS is banned in F1

  13. George: “Hey Jenson, check out this button!”

    “I’m, too sexy for my race suit, too sexy for my race suit …”

    George shot some ‘special’ photos for his OnlyRaceFans account

    1. Damn, you stole my theme!

  16. “George, we’re giving you a preview of next year’s team kit. It’s made to measure for Kimi.”

  17. Doesn’t George know that ABS are illegal in an F1 car?

    …but Toto said “Corset’s legal”

    1. Only took me a day to get it.
      Great play on words.

  19. The king of hardcore, OnlyFans star and sometimes F1 driver George Russell AKA Mr. Saturday Night flashes his hard core.

  20. Pit crew: Excellent, you got the pack of white powder through customs George.
    George: Next time, put it in the fuel tank.

  21. I’ve got the stomach to fight for the WDC. Do you?

    Quick, strap that kilo and a half on.

  23. Awful week for George. First he’s disqualified, then he gets band.

  24. … and this should just about cover your “Victory in Spa 24” tattoo.

  25. George explains the 1.5kg loss to the stewards

  26. I thought after Ralph coming out that would encourage George to come out too

    1. Not until he’s retired. Doesn’t matter though. With that core, we can all enjoy! ; )

  27. “Just a bit of last minute waxing before the podium”

  28. George strikes a pose for his Only Racefans account.

  29. I smile when my midriff is exposed too, but from embarrassment.
