Summary
On George Russell's downfall as he chases the 2026 World Driver's Championship title.
"...he picked up his doctor-approved specific toothpaste, squeezing one and a half centimetre’s worth onto his equally carefully chosen electric toothbrush, then ran it under the sink. But only after recapping the tube, and lining the objects on the bathroom counter in the exact configuration he had left them last night. George was about as meticulous as one could get brushing his teeth, counting exactly the same rhythmic brushes for each tooth before moving onto the next: side, bottom, inside, next. As he completed his brushing with the exact amount of force required to clean but not damage his enamel, George stared into his own eyes in the mirror. He looked… detached. It was like he was looking but not really, like his brain was far away..."
A classic, (hopefully long) mental health journey, where the protagonist unreliably narrates his own denial for far too long, and intervention is required.
