I've read on here people (haters) say that Lewis doesn't have a good relationship with George etc. That is simply not true. George, as a Merc Jr has been mentored by Lewis since the beginning. They're close. Both Toto & Lewis are cheering George on.

So I made a thread.
George joined the program in 2017....
On his socials you could see that he was a big fan of lewis. Its terribly cute.
Like its adorable
George would test drive the cars & also spend his off time with the merc team.
Toto, so sweet. Signed him from an early age.

Nobody wants him in the car more than Toto.
this is so damn cute.
George has also been close with lewis...
Lewis comforted George after his crash at Imola
Here, lewis is literally calling George the future. A future world champion.
Lewis Liked George's pic on insta and of course Merc socials were all over it in Sakhir.

When Lewis was back to race in Abu Dhabi, he was asked about George & he said that George did an amazing job.
All I'll say is that toto has and continues to fuel the fire on the prospect of George joining lewis. We can't wait. Its something everyone at merc is hoping for.
How it started, How its going.

I know I speak for all of #F1 when I say I cannot wait for this pairing. fingers crossed for 2022.
One last clip. Toto has said that its not a case of pitting Lewis and George against each other. Here he is talking about both of them. Whilst poor Bottas is def the step child. Lewis & George will always be Toto's babies.
