Lewis Hamilton, British driver for Mercedes AMG F1, defended his teammate George Russell against negative comments on social media. Hamilton praised Russell’s performance and stated that he cannot be blamed for his efforts. Russell has outperformed Hamilton in the 2024 season, with eight pole positions compared to Hamilton’s one. This has led to speculation on social media that Mercedes is intentionally favoring Russell, but Hamilton dismissed these theories, emphasizing team unity and the need for support instead of negativity. Recognizing that there is always room for improvement, Hamilton emphasized that the focus should be on ending his long-standing relationship with Mercedes in a positive way. He also mentioned an anonymous email sent within the F1 paddock, claiming deliberate measures against Hamilton, but stated that he had not seen the email and had nothing further to add.
