George Russell
'can't argue' with team-mate Lewis Hamilton holding a higher status in the Mercedes hierarchy, according to Sky Sports F1's Anthony Davidson. The Silver Arrows duo have tussled on track in each of the last two races, with Russell momentarily becoming exasperated by the contest during the Japanese Grand Prix on Sunday.
'And that's why we see the near misses, the drivers coming, almost to blows, almost to contact, but then he's a good boy on the radio, he's very British about it.'And there are layers to him, to the annoyance, I think. It always comes over as, 'I'm okay with this, but if you could please, very thankfully, let me through with the next couple of opportunities, it'd be much appreciated.''And we'd hear maybe a bit more vocal if things were different.
