George Russell's combative approach is proving why Lewis Hamilton wanted Mercedes to keep Valtteri Bottas beyond 2021, says one F1 pundit.
‘George Russell is proving why Lewis Hamilton wanted Mercedes to keep Bottas’Lewis Hamilton watches on as Mercedes team-mate George Russell speaks to the media after 2023 Australian Grand Prix qualifying.
After Russell had overtaken Hamilton at the final chicane in the early stages of the race, the latter immediately repassed on the main straight with a decisive move before later forcing his team-mate off the track at Spoon Curve.In the closing laps, Russell – on a one-stop strategy – was unhappy after being instructed to gift fifth place to the two-stopping Hamilton, with the younger Brit ultimately finishing seventh after also being passed by the charging Ferrari of Carlos Sainz.
And he fears that trouble awaits Mercedes can provide their battling drivers with a race-winning car in 2024.
