'Lewis Hamilton effect' in force with George Russell 'struggles' highlighted

Lewis Hamilton puts his wheels on the grass to overtake Charles Leclerc during the Mexican Grand Prix.

It was the second race in a row in which Hamilton was the closest rival to Max Verstappen’s dominance, having done so in Austin as well prior to his later disqualification for an excessively worn underfloor plank.While Hamilton is producing extremely strong results with the W14, teammate George Russell can’t be relied on in the same way at this point of the season.

“There was a point in the early stages and on the grid where they were 1-2 and Mercedes were starting from sixth and eighth. “There was a tyre delta between the two cars with Leclerc choosing the hard tyre, and Hamilton on the medium. It was an incredibly brave move. We’ve seen Lewis Hamilton decisive so many times throughout his career and, again, he was really decisive at that stage where he had to get the move done while he still had more mechanical grip than the Ferrari did because that went away from him relatively quickly.
