Russell warned ‘you can’t just be the nice guy’ by teammate who toppled Hamilton

Nico Rosberg says George Russell can’t afford to “just be the nice guy” in his rivalry with Mercedes F1 teammate Lewis Hamilton.

Hamilton and Russell dramatically came to blows at Turn 1 on the first lap of the Qatar Grand Prix last time out, an incident which left Hamilton stuck in the gravel and Russell at the back of the field.

“Things have been heating up there, because also in Suzuka it was like well over the limit on one occasion when they both took each other off the track,” Rosberg said on the Sky Sports F1 podcast.“So it’s interesting to follow. I hope that Toto is managing that carefully, because you’ve got to be ahead of the curve there and not let that spiral.

“So it’s very uncomfortable because George needs to be pushing, which he does on the radio, you hear him saying ‘again’ and things like that. He’s really trying to hold against it.”Rosberg thinks Hamilton’s admission that he was at fault for their Qatar clash was a “big win” for Russell.
