The amount of trust George put in that Mercedes when he sent it round the outside at T1 was unreal. That was some ballsy move, that.

Russell was underrated because he spent 3 years in a Williams. And now he’s either loved or hated because he drives for Mercedes. But, all that aside, he is one of the new generation’s top talents. So excited to see what he can do battling Max, Charles, Lando, etc in the next 5-10 years.

Russell and verstappen were easily the duo with the best battles of the year

This is what REAL F1 fans want to see. Great duels, no crazy fans fighting with each other, fueled by some fanboy commentators.

Can’t wait for more battles between these two, an entire season of this would be awesome

I like how George gave him room. It gave us more wheel to wheel.

Imagine a season with Max, Charles, George, and Lando all in competitive cars and battling it out for the championship. It'll probably never happen, but I want it so badly.

An excellent show of Russell's defensive skill.

[TygQ]

Probably one of the best battles. verstappen vs The DRS

[Finance]

The most underrated battle between a Mercedes and a Redbull!

[antlerYT]

Russell vs Verstappen will be a fantastic battle for years to come

[PAULSWorld]

Max, George and Charles, bring it on

[Otsantos]

I hate the fact that people hate George. He’s a great driver

[StayClosedDelorean]

Battles like this make me think that George might just be the biggest generational threat to Max's current title dominance

[kelvinliew]

Let's hope for more of these next season.

It does reveal that overtaking without DRS is still an issue. We really can't ditch DRS, as much as everyone might want to.

This was the first time I went to an Grand Prix, was seated in T1 so saw the attempted overtake by Max on George, and then George coming back... Really cool seeing in on track

[Easton__P]

Wouldn’t it be so cool if we get a three way title fight between Max Charles and George this year?

[BD]

Amazing defense from George. Ruthless but still fair

[SP]

would be nice a battle three next season.. charles, george, max
