George Russell is 'definitely not' on the same page as Lewis Hamilton when it comes to his post-Australian GP W15 verdict.
While Lewis Hamilton bemoaned the “inconsistency” of the Mercedes W15 after Australian Grand Prix qualifying, team-mate George Russell has no such concerns.
“I’m definitely not having the fluctuations in confidence or performance on my side of the garage, or in my car, compared to what Lewis is experiencing,” he said.“It was a difficult day, but we ultimately still qualified P7. There’s going to be a lot of in the race, so it’s all still to play for.”F1 2025 driver line-up: Who is already confirmed for the 2025 grid?
“Because yesterday they were off the pace, or at least Lewis was in FP2 and then this morning, they got out on track and they were really, really quick and then to go to qualifying and drop out in Q2, it’s just kind of like, what’s going on? “The track conditions did change quite drastically between FP3 and qualifying. Temperatures were higher, obviously grip levels were different on the track. And there is a difference between the two drivers.
Former F1 driver Karun Chandhok said the concerns go deeper for Hamilton as the inconsistencies he feels in the W15 appear not to be from session to session, but from corner to corner even after analysing the on-track footage.
