Seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton is at the center of a storm after a controversial trip with former teammate George Russell. The duo, who once dominated the F1 circuit together at Mercedes, recently embarked on a journey that left Hamilton feeling less than pleased.
Hamilton, who shocked the racing world by moving to Ferrari for the 2025 season, had a tumultuous experience during the trip with Russell. The pair, known for their successful partnership at Mercedes, managed to secure five victories amidst Red Bull’s stronghold on the sport. Russell, a product of the Mercedes junior program, joined Hamilton at Mercedes after a stint with Williams.
In a surprising revelation during a recent F1 YouTube video, Russell shared details of the pivotal moment he found out he was entering the world of Formula 1. Recalling the day he received the life-changing call in 2018, Russell mentioned flying back home with Mercedes boss Toto Wolff and Hamilton after learning he would be driving for Williams. However, it was a seemingly innocuous incident involving hummus that soured the mood for Hamilton during the flight.
Russell humorously recounted the incident, admitting to double-dipping his hummus, much to Hamilton’s dismay. The blunder led to a lighthearted yet tense moment between the two drivers, with Hamilton questioning Russell’s manners. The young driver’s lack of awareness regarding double-dipping sparked a humorous exchange between the pair.
As Hamilton navigates a new chapter in his racing career at Ferrari, this revelation sheds light on the dynamics between the F1 legends. Stay tuned for more updates on Hamilton’s journey with Ferrari and his relationships within the F1 community.
