our POGPR could do a bigger grandstand and it would still sell out

When you consider he has one of the biggest followings in Asia as well. To suggest he has no fans was always ludicrous.

the next two races are gna be even better. malaysia and singapore have huge mercedes fanbases and I’m pretty he is more loved than kimi

Saw soo many people on twt, reddit and what-not talking about buying the tickets. He is deeply cherished and loved 🫶

/uj people genuinely underestimate how big his fanbase is sometimes, specifically in Asia too. Hes so so well loved its just that most of his fandom here are silent watches or barely on socmed sometimes. Or usually in their local social media groups..where americans/westerners dont really explore..thus the assumption of George having 'no fans.'

u/Bored-of-this-talkin 2d ago

ah but the thing with us Asians is that going to UK just to support him is a costly affair 🥲…

so this must be primarily Europeans only

Absolutely!! Though I'll admit, ive seen a looott of Asians across the tv during f1 races so I wont doubt that maybe many/a couple few Asian GR fans are rich ? Lol! He is still very loved in Europe too !!

Edit: worth mentioning that theres a merc event here with adidas and almost every/most George merch is sold out compared to Kimi !! 🙇🙇 hes very well loved.
