George Russell has offended the delicate sensibilities of F1 rival Oscar Piastri, after the Mercedes star made the ultimate power-move.
The 27-year-old has stepped up to the role of team leader at Mercedes perfectly in 2025, claiming four grand prix podiums and qualifying P3 on the grid in Imola in the race before Monaco, which landed him in the press conference after the session in Italy.
Russell has cultivated the aesthetic of an English gentleman throughout the course of his F1 career, from his tweed-clad photoshoots that emulate the glossy pages of Town & Country, to his assortment of colloquial British phrases as substitutes for swear words (e.g. blimey, crikey and sugar).
However, Russell took his cheeky chappie persona too far in Imola, when he shamelessly munched on a banana during the post-qualifying press conference.
It was Oscar Piastri who was sat next to the Brit and unfairly subjected to the sounds of chomping from Russell's mouth, leaving the McLaren driver understandably exasperated.
"You and your banana," Piastri sighed with all the world-weariness of a father of three.
"Don’t get your banana too close to me."
Although English is not his first language, Max Verstappen cottoned on to the double entendre immediately, where his head promptly shot up and he giggled at Piastri’s comment.
In these circumstances however, GPFans fails to see the funny side. Actually, we must break our oath of due impartiality and announce the full backing of Piastri against Russell in this scenario.
As someone who also loathes the sound of people eating too loudly, I am glad Piastri took a stand and demanded Russell eat his banana elsewhere, whilst simultaneously being able to see the funny side of the situation - Oscar, you're a better man than me.
There is a time and a place to enjoy a snack, and in the name of all that is good in the F1 world, that place is not an FIA-sanctioned press conference.
George Russell. Director of the GPDA. Do better.

Cannot believe that today we saw a race so terrible that George a) deliberately broke the rules b) got himself a drive through penalty c) mouthed off on the radio d) didn’t get any points and e) went fully unhinged in his interviews, and yet the comments I’ve seen about him on any and all platforms I have cared to investigate are possibly the most positive I have seen about him since he joined Mercedes.
Crash out after crash out after crash out but at least he's providing the entertainment.
Okay so I don’t watch DTS but from what I’m gathering
- Lando is showed as “weak” and anxious (he has 4 wins and 7 poles and 85% podiums last season, but okay)
- George’s panic attack after Singapore is showed on screen (I bet he is also showed as the bad guy after Qatar)
I guess you just need them doing drugs and this is basically a season of Euphoria, no?
Fucking joke, just these few things are a clear indication of what kind of audience (and fans) they want to reach and are managing to reach.
And, unfortunately, these people are taking over the internet, which is not a safe space anymore even for sport which should be something, you know, fun, something to share, not whatever dictatorship you are trying to make it out to be.
It is not a competiont at who is the less anxious and more mental stable, are you literally willingly watching Lando and George being radicalised for having fucking sentiments? Guys, what the hell is your problem why do you do these things?
How would you feel if they stuck a camera under your nose while you are doing an exam? Or after you fail an exam? Or after you fail a job interview? How would you feel if somebody was constantly calling you weak because you cry like any other human being?
Calling yourself an ally or saying that mental health is important just to laugh at Lando and George for being stressed or anxious does not make you a good person, it makes you a very fucking bad one.
And if you, by any means, approve of this, please get out of my blog.
Working on my fursuit head for THE SPY!! I love him so far he needs his mask and a cig!
Meet the f1 crew as pirates poorly edited by me
every sky commentator: well we have this inside information but we shouldn't really talk about it so we'll be very vague and unhelpful
nico rosberg: i got an email offering a stake in alpine today. how much? i can't say. just kidding it was a billion euros. what else do you want to know?
predictions for the f1 2025 car launch in london:
someone forgets to send out the dress code. george russell turns up in an immaculately pressed suit, lando norris turns up in black sweatpants.
the british drivers are raised onto the stage like they’re in the eras tour
the non-british drivers have to come in through the crowd entrance and buy their own tickets
christian horner still hasn’t decided who’s filling that second red bull seat. as a result max is accompanied on stage by what seems to be three untrained rookies in a trenchcoat
speaking of max, he doesn’t speak a word the entire night preferring instead to communicate short answers in sign language.
the hosts keep trying to awkwardly fill time à la eurovision song contest
there are at least two fistfights
and one dogfight (leo and roscoe)
pierre and esteban stand next to each other at first before they have to awkwardly be reminded that they’re not teammates anymore
someone makes a thinly veiled reference to the mclaren 2024 rear wing
kimi antonelli gets booed (british crowd) and about half the grid has to be physically restrained from jumping on the audience
toto wolff tries to seduce max yet again.
max audibly laughs at him. this is the only time we hear his voice all night.
oscar piastri gets visibly teary at the sight of drs since it’s the last time it’ll be used in f1
fred vasseur makes an insane prediction on how many races ferrari will win. everyone laughs at him.
he ends up being absolutely right
fernando turns up in another team’s colours
it’s later revealed that one team paid the sound engineers to play thunderous applause when their car was revealed
one livery will merit audible laughter
it will be alpine’s.

u/Perfect-Occasion-790 on reddit made this awesome fanart inspired by my meme. They're a great artist, you should check out their other fanart!
Hi I have a request 😅 Can you please make Spider with Katara's hair from ATLA from the episode when she disguised herself as a fire nation citizen? I think it would look nice in your art style
Here! Not bad? I think it even suits him! Plus I added a couple more hairstyles here))) What do you think?
@moon-drunk-monster learning ways of Na'vi with his son :)
Nothing more I want to see than deleted scenes with Quaritch + Spider bonding 😭
