Would George Russell be faster than Lewis Hamilton in a head-to-head F1 championship fight?
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell finished higher in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 standings last season than teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton, and this year has out-qualified him at all three grands prix so fa💝r.
Hamilton finished P2 in ♐Australia (where Russell’s car forced him to retire early) but the debatꩵe is still raging about the balance of power between Mercedes’ two drivers.
Krav💯itz said via Sky: “We really, really want to see M🍎ercedes challenging for the championship with Red Bull.
“Then, we can get into championship-challenging Russell against championship-chall♓enging Hamilton.
“When they’ve actually got something to go for?
♓“I don’t know this for sure, but I would imagine, if I was Hamilton and I wasn’t in for the championship - ‘I have won so many, I’m not going for the championship, if George beats me I don’t really care🥀’.
“You could reflect onꦫ 2022 and say George did beat him in the points.
“[Hamilton would say]: ‘I am not in the championship, I 𝓀don’t care if I’m third, fourth or fifth if I’m not No1’.
“That’s what I want to ಞsee. I want to see championship-cha🌠llenging Russell against championship-challenging Hamilton.
“We’ve seen in the past that 💦Hamilton takes a step up when he’s challenging for theꦜ championship.”
Hamilton is the joint-record holder of F1 champ♒ionships (seven alongside Michael Schumacher).
But he endured the worst season of his career in 2022, fai꧃ling to win a race for the first t🔴ime ever.
Russell claime🐬d Mercedꩵes’ sole victory last season, in Brazil, his maiden grand prix win.
Hamilton, now 38 and with his contract expiring at the end of this season, dealt with many of Mercedes’ problems with last season’s🌳 car and is still working out the troublesome W14, a🐬lthough progress was made in Australia with his podium finish.
