Mercedes bosses might have breathed a sigh of relief to see their two d🌜rivers fairly battle for position.

But it is partly due to the ethos which Mercedes demands of its drivers ♍on-track, which Hamilton described.

Toto Wolff said: ꦓ"They’re so good and so e🌜xperienced that we allow the racing. 

"At the beginning, I have no doubt, there was not a feeling where I thought, 🧔it’s📖 getting a bit hairy. 

"I think we made the call to George at the end where it was clear that Lewis had the faster car, that maybe that one defense🌼 on the straight was a bit of a late move. 

"I don’t have any doubts about the two."

Hamilton said in Mexico: "It's pretty sꦑtraightforward.

“I don't think either of us are silly.

“George is really smart, and 🥀is fair. And he's just really good at where he places his car, and I think for me too.

"So when [the t♐eam] comes on the radio and says ‘keep it cl𒉰ean’, it's like, ‘of course’.

“It's not 📖really different to when you're fighti✃ng anyone else, except for it is your teammate. So you have to be double careful because you both want to finish.”

Russell said:&♎nbsp;“It was nice to have the battle and it’s always good when y🃏ou fight with Lewis because it’s hard and fair.”

Hamilton initially got 💦ahea🏅d of Russell at the Mexico City Grand Prix, but his teammate later overtook him.

Hamilton then got the better of Russell in the latter s꧃tages of the race, to finish fourth. Russell was fifth💖.

Hamilton blamed understeer for his bad first stint. Russell, meanwhile, had damage to his front wing an🔴d was already running an older spec of the W15 after a crash in practice.

But their teammate v teammate scrap was an example to other tea🍌ms of how to go racing, particularly with Hamilton’s days at Mercedes drawing to a close.
