George Russell can see ‘a different dynamic’ with Lewis Hamilton, but no conflictConceding there will be a “different dynamic” next season if he’s fighting Lewis Hamilton for race wins, George Russell still doesn’t think there’ll be conflict between the team-mates.
There could have been a second in Brazil when the team-mates lined up first and second on the Sao Paulo Grand Prix grid, Mercedes’ first front row lock-out of the championship, but pole-sitter Russell was quick off the line with Hamilton filing him behind him.but Russell kept Hamilton at bay to clinch Mercedes’ only win of the season.
“But I think the thing we have going for us is the fact that we are at very different stages of our career. It kind of feels like we are in this together, really. “We recognise the importance of that within the whole team. If our relationship starts to break up, it’s going to have an impact on the team and ultimately it’s going to go full circle and affect us as well.
“But when you’ve got someone such as Lewis alongside you, performing at such a [high] level, week-in, week-out, you are never ever going to be able to be quickest within your team every single week. As the season progressed, the team made small steps forward, first to curb the bouncing and then to develop the car with Mercedes closing in on Ferrari and even Red Bull in the latter part of the season.
