An anonymous email sent to figures across the paddock alleged sabotage against the seven-time world champion, while George Russell has been subject to abuse from fans on social media

after an anonymous email accusing the team of sabotaging Hamilton’s chances was sent to F1, the teams and the media last week.

Speaking before this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix, Hamilton said he had not seen the email but summarily dismissed the accusations and those on social media. “There are always things that can be better within a team and that comes through conversations, through communication, and that’s what we’re consistently working on,” he said. “But we’re all in the same boat, we’re all working hard together and we all want to finish on a high. We owe that to our long-term relationship.

With the British GP at Silverstone just two weeks away Hamilton also expressed his concern that ticket prices for the event had risen too high for many fans. “I’m just thinking from the perspective of a fan that would come with a family. It’s hugely expensive, so I think it’s looking into ways where you can make better accessibility for people.”
