Lewis Hamilton vs George Russell “luck” talking point is “fun to watch - it’s not going to stop,” says Jenson Button
Russell has shot down Hamilton’s claim that “luck🐲” was involved in his choice of set-up for his W14, which enabled him to out-qualify and out-race his older, more esteemed teammate in Saudi🎃 Arabia.
Team principal Toto Wolff, at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 Australian Grand Prix, confirmed t💎hat the drivers are responsible for choosing their own set-ups.
"All I can say is it's fun to watch and it's noไt going to stop there,” Hamilton’s ex-teammate Button told Sky Sports.&n🌠bsp;
“You've got two very compe♌titive drivers. Russell last year was a very big team play🌜er, which he should be, his first time in the team.
“Now things get a little bit serious between the t✨wo of th🧔em.
“They have got a car tha♋t’s not quite there but they are out there to b💧eat each other.
“George did a good job at the last race and I'm sure Lewis will come back at him here but he didn't hav💖e the balance he liked.
“Maybe he was right, maybe George did get a bit lucky that the set-up direction they🀅 went in was 🌟better.
“But you develop your set-up ꦦthrough a race weekend ꧃and maybe if you see George is strong follow that direction."
Sky’s Carig Slater previously said: “Russell out-qualified Ham🍒ilton in Jeddah by four tenths of a second. That’s a big gap between teammates.
“Maybe that stung Lewis a bit.
“Lewis said that if he had the same setup as George, or if he hadn’t made a setup mistake, he wouldn’t just be matching George’s pace, he’d be be𒀰ating it. Maybe a subtle implication that he’d be ahead.
“George, I th⛄ink, 💝is standing his ground. Resisting the notion that it was only his setup, or only the fortuitous way that the two garages went with how they angled the wing of the car on the day.”
