Rookies Reunited | Catching Up With George, Lando and Alex!

Back in 2019, three rookies graduated from Formula 2 to Formula 1. Since then, they've scored poles, podiums, moved around, and created some iconic moments in the sport. Join us as we eavesdrop on their conversation about world championships, high moments, jealousy, and of course, forming a three car team.

Crazy how different their careers went. George had the merc seat but had to wait at williams. Lando immediately settled at McLaren, and Albono went on a full rollercoaster

Can we just give some appreciation to Alex right now? The man has been absolutely crushing it in a Williams car and has always been so level headed and calm within each race. It’s kind of sad hearing him say that he thought he wasn’t well thought of in comparison to George and Lando, but he truly is an amazing driver. Well done Alex, you’ve always got my support!

Who does remember their rookie presentation? This was hilarious. It’s nice to see their close friendship of joking around despite battling each other for so many years.

[abird]

Alex is really humble about what he's been through in his career

[RafidW]

I've always liked how Alex carries himself. He seems like the nicest driver in the grid.

i love how lando and george just naturally didn’t bother to answer those alex questions. they responded exactly how actual friends would: laughing it off but quickly moving on

[sudazima]

george sits exactly how i thought he would

The iconic rookie trio 😂😂 remember George's ppt, Alex's poem and Lando's bomb edit? 😂😂

[Dough_Dough]

The banter between these three is genuinely entertaining. Film more of it please

[reversal]

This is a great reunion!
The fact that 3 rookies performed at a high enough level to be in F1 to this day is something else. We might never see this happening ever again with 3 rookies.

George started in a backmarker team and is now in a frontrunner team, alex started in a frontrunner team and is now at a backmarker(ish) team, and lando is in a car that can somehow be both a front runner and backmarker in the same season. All 3 are crazy talented tho, and im certain we’ll see at least a couple championships from these 3 in the years to come

4:42 "where were you that day?" absolutely brutal accident from George 😂😂😂

[BK_Daniels]

Along with Max and Charles, these three guys have been superstars, favorites to many and just highlight reels

[ryanaertel]

To Toto: im free in '25 is absolutely hilarious given the current situation

[moon_and_water]

I loved when Alex said his lowest low was the first race in 2021 because he wasn't driving. Despite all the frustration he had in some races and teams in his career, the worst for him is not driving at all. Shows how much the drivers love racing.
(And also getting paid maybe but let's leave that for somewhere else)

Alright FIA, now make a special rule for them to be in a 3 drivers team. These are so competitive and yet able to have so much fun together, unbelievable.

[knk]

They really need their own segment every year please, its so entertaining this trio

[savet.e]

Really happy for that reunion! It's a perfect rookie trio for that year! Hope we will have more of these!

[selder_]

It’s interesting just how different their careers have been already. One stuck at the back til they got to jump to a top team, one riding the waves with the same team as they move up and down the field, one propelled too high too fast but building a great base now. Two team leaders and one race winner

[Nicolas]

These three guys are really what F1 should be: true friendship, sportsmanship and absolute respect for their jobs. And they have brought to us more emotional races than any rookie driver could bring. I'd celebrate if they have the chance to win the WDC in the near future.
