What's up, bankers?

SPEAKER_5 (1:34)

Greetings, bankers.

Matt (1:38)

How is everybody doing?

George Russell (1:41)

Just I just need to win every race for the rest of the year. Just my teammates had a great time. My teammates had a great run, but it's crunch time. And so now it's time. It's Russell time. Russell Sprout stand up. Time for me to take this fucking championship back.

I'm George Russell.

Brian (1:57)

I just got to focus on myself. And right now myself is awesome. It's awesome.

Just hand off Max Verstappen.

George Russell (2:05)

Yeah, Max Verstappen threw himself into the wall trying to chase me. When I threw myself into the wall, trying to chase nobody.

Okay, but I'm going to win every race for the rest of the year.

Matt (2:16)

Is this George Russell by way of Donald Trump?

George Russell (2:19)

Okay, I'm going to win every race for the rest of the year.

Brian (2:25)

Many people are saying that George Russell is out of this race. It's not true. It's fake news.

This 2026 championship has been rigged. It's been rigged by the lame stream media. Toto Wolfe has rigged this championship and he wasn't here. I'm not saying... Isn't it a little bit interesting? Isn't it a little bit interesting that he wasn't here? That the one race he wasn't here?

George Russell (2:52)

Toto is not in Russell by Sean and all of a sudden, George is eight tenths up on everyone in qualifying. How about that?

Brian (2:58)

How about that? Many people are saying it's because there was hashtag collusion. There's been hashtag collusion and now Crooked Toto is gone.

George Russell (3:15)

And Kimi and his basket of deplorables are also gone and, you know.

SPEAKER_8 (3:22)

Oh my God.

SPEAKER_9 (3:24)

I did. I love Baku.

Matt (3:27)

Baku is the greatest.

I couldn't even find it on a map, but now it's my favorite place in the world. That's why I love F1. I couldn't pick Baku out of a line up.

And now I could walk those streets in my sleeve. Oh, that's the castle. Oh, look at those. Look at that lovely, that little downtown, those little glass buildings and lovely to see. Is it the Caspian? I don't know. I think it is. Amazing. Amazing. And it's like, oh, it's their National Remembrance Day. I'm learning things about it. Oh, we'll get to have a race on a Saturday instead of a Sunday because of their day, their National Holiday. It's such a, what a treat. Things are always fucked up in Haywire.
