Mercedes driver George Russell has praised teammate Lewis Hamilton ahead of the latter’s final spell with the team. The 39-year-old is set to depart the Brackley-based team to join Ferrari after 12 glorious years.
Lewis Hamilton is often regarded as one of the greatest drivers in the history of Formula 1. With seven world titles and 105 wins to his name, the Brit has been an inspiration to many across the world. He has not been at par with his brilliance standards this season but has still amassed two wins this season.
George Russell has thereafter claimed that he has learned significantly from Hamilton, both as a teammate and friend. He stated that the seven-time world champion has taught him not just about racing but about life as well.

Hamilton arrives at the Las Vegas GP after a dismal time in Brazil. His aim will now be to deliver his best efforts in maximizing the results to finish his era with the Silver Arrows on a high.
George Russell is not concerned about finishing ahead of Lewis Hamilton
George Russell has been the more dominant driver out of himself and Lewis Hamilton for the better part of the season. The 26-year-old has since talked of his approach heading into the final races of the campaign.
Russell has cited that the W15 has been more well-suited to his needs than that of Hamilton this season. Nevertheless, his interests lie in performing well for the Mercedes rather than surpassing his teammate.
I think maybe this year’s car suited my driving style a little bit more than his, I’m not too sure. For me, we’re still not where we want to be as a team, so if I’m finishing ahead of Lewis Hamilton, I won’t put that on my CV.
George Russell said (via ESPN)
The two drivers have started the Las Vegas GP weekend in good form, finishing in the top three at both practice sessions. They will now seek to continue with the same format and finish on the podium on Sunday.
