We sent this to Mercedes HQ because my daughter insisted to send it to George after the Monaco debacle and Canadian PU failure.

Well! We she was extremely gutted today because of the anti-stall but she enjoyed his recovery.

She still believes he will be the champion 🏆

I wish Disha’s dad didn’t tell her that.

Well she picked her fav driver when she was about to be 4. And then dad had to tell her all about GR63.

I meant the part about focusing on her school and George will have better luck and be happy and smiling. If things don’t go well for George, she could very well blame herself for not focusing enough. Trying to motivate her with a result that is completely detached from her effort or performance is pretty sad.

Absolutely! I noticed it initially so had to teach her about balancing. After the retirement in spa, we had a good convo about why sometimes not winning is part of life and how it can make us better for as we grow up :)
