    Is the face you pull for the stewards, George?

      or…. See, George, I told you I wasn’t British.

  2. The new FIA rules regarding dental hygiene held no fears for Alex.

    1. Very good! :)

  3. After 3 years struggling at the back, Albon gets the taste of a front seat.

  4. Alex realises too late where George left his Las Vegas trophy

  5. Damn! I wouldn’t have said that if I knew he was there…

  6. Not like you to take a back seat George…

  7. Suddenly George realised where he’d left his keys.

  8. GR: “Check out my latest invention, Alex. I call it the Tickle-Master. I simply press this button and…”

    AA: “Waaaahahaha… stop it George… hahahahaa…”

    GR: “It’s very small and can be attached to any seat. I just sold one to Carlos.”

  9. “Now show me your last place face!”

  10. Alex is documenting the fact that he finishes ahead of a Mercedes driver on a race day because he gets a nice bonus for it according to his contract.

  11. Mixed reactions in the paddock to the latest FOM proposal to spice up the racing – reverse-grid starts.

    Along with swearing on radio FIA should ban such stupid photos

  13. Russell’s latest PowerPoint presentation was so impressive it gaslit Albon into thinking he’s going to drive a car as good as the 90’s Williams next year.

  14. The jewel restriction now also apply to dental crowns

  15. From DTS, Season 8, Episode 2 : “The Williams Supremacy”. Alex and George’s forced smiles are a sorry facade for the most deadly F1 rivalry ever. Will that bitter feud end in a bloodbath ?

  16. As George looks on with sly satisfaction, Alex discovers the prank seat consisting of *content redacted – for mature audiences only*

  17. That’s the driver images done for this season’s Liberty TV captions.

      lol. That’d be amazing. I’d love if F1 actually used those. I’d respect them for showing a sense of humor.

  18. George wanted to see Alex reaction when George kicked his seat hard.

  19. George: hey Alex, BEEP BEEP BEEEEEP BEEP
    Alex: Really? i thought BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEEP
    George: yeah but, BEEEEEEEEP BEEEEP BEEP
    Alex: Man, this is gonna be BEEEEEEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEP

    thanks FIA

    George remains unimpressed by Alex’s impression of an activated DRS.

  21. FOM’s innovative camera to ‘get under the helmets’ of its drivers was enlightening…

  22. After hearing that Bluetooth is prohibited during takeoff, Alex is just proving to the stewardess that every tooth is happy in his mouth.

  23. All racing drivers love a slipstream, but when they get that jetstream feeling…

  24. George quietly whispers to Alex, never cry Wolff.
