Simply put, The Captain petrifies Ted Mosby and his band of emotionally stunted misfits, and they can never quite articulate why. So, how did George’s genetics do him dirty? After a great deal of scientific analysis on my part, I’ve concluded that he has what I call George Van Smoot syndrome.įor those who haven’t watched every single episode of How I Met Your Mother at least 1,300 times (I don’t blame you, it hasn’t aged like a fine wine), there’s a character in the sixth season named George Van Smoot, better known to the characters as The Captain, played by silver fox Kyle MacLachlan. You either said, “OMG he’s adorable!” or you thought, “Get those things away from me!!!!” It tooootally has nothing to do with his racing.įirst, here are three photos that contain George’s eyes, courtesy of his Instagram:Ĭhances are you had a strong reaction to them. This is where his eyes come in, because I think they’re the core reason why people are so undecided on him. Is he really a fine bloke, or is it all just an act? He’s never met a preppy blue-and-white striped shirt he didn’t like, and if you told me he wears only a long nightshirt to bed, I’d believe you, no questions asked.īecause of this, no one can quite put their finger on George. It’s obvious that George isn't interested in snatching either of those crowns, instead going for more of a “would fit in no problem at a polo match and totally brag to you about his tangential connection to the Royal Family” vibe. In terms of the British drivers on the grid, Lewis Hamilton is the cool older cousin who introduced you to weird house music, always knows ~a guy~, and is probably in a cult, while Lando Norris is comfortably situated in the “internet dweller who definitely committed all of the Sims cheat codes to memory” slot. Here’s a recap of George Russell for those who are new: He’s the baby-faced 23-year-old whiz kid over at Williams, where he’s patiently waited in the wings for almost three years to take Valtteri Bottas’ spot over at Mercedes. More specifically, why no one can seem to agree on if they’re absolutely stunning or downright terrifying. No, instead we’re talking about George Russell’s eyeballs. (That last thing is a bourgeois problem if I ever did see one.) No, I’m not talking about Lewis and Max’s tumble at Silverstone, Fernando Alonso’s return to the sport, Spa's podium, or Aston Martin’s choice of green car hue. Today though, I’d like to discuss something ultra-polarizing in Formula 1. George and Vatteri being stuck together on Media Day. I’ve got big plans! Also, send them last week’s newsletter about the F1 summer break! I swear it’s fun!Įvery single thing about this weekend's race was built for chaos. It’s written by me, Lily Herman.īefore we get into the water-logged cataclysm that was the 2021 Belgian Grand Prix, let me remind you all to forward this newsletter to a friend and tell them to subscribe. Welcome to Engine Failure, a Formula 1 culture newsletter that dives into what the fuck is really going on in F1.
