Lewis Hamilton backs ‘phenomenal’ Mercedes F1 teammate George Russell after crash and offers to help him improve

"We are all trying to be millimetre perfect out there and it's very, very easy 𝄹to make mistakes. It's easy for any of us, being in the position George was in,” Hamilton said.

"He ha🅰d been driving phenomenal all weekend,🐎 so it was really unfortunate for him, last lap, to finish that way. But he continues to grow and improve.
"I know that he will keep getting stronger and faster… If the🦄re is any way I can help him be a part of that over the next couple of years.
"I have a lot of experience, I've been here a long time, putting together a race is, not ꧃that it's easy, but the race is where I'm most comfortable on track. It's just about keeping your head down.
"If you look at last year I made a mistake at Turn Seven an🥂d went off and crashed in t꧃he wall. It can happen to any of us. It's just one of those things.”
Hamilton’s 196th F1 podium has moved him ahead of Aston Martin’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso and u❀p to third place in the drivers’ championship.
