‘Neither of us are silly’ says Hamilton as he bests Russell in Mercedes’ Mexico City intra-team battle

In the aftermath of his victory over the sister car to secure fourth place at the Mexico City Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton has expressed his satisfaction with the “fun” battle he had with his Mercedes teammate George Russell.

After starting fifth and sixth, respectively, Russell and Hamilton traded positions on the first lap of the race. However, Russell ultimately regained the lead on the fourteenth lap of the race.

Norris offers his perspective on Verstappen’s “not very clean driving” after the most recent race, saying, “I was ready to expect something like this.” As Hamilton put it, “I had a good time today, it was a good day.” “Although I got off to a good start, I had a really bad first stint. I removed an excessive amount of the front wing from the car, and I had a tremendous amount of understeer.

“After I had stopped, I was able to make the necessary adjustments, and then after that, I had a much better pace, and I was able to push and keep going. In addition, we stopped a little bit earlier than I had planned and other things,” she said. “We have some valid points.”the conflict in Mexico

During the pit stop phase, both Alexander Hamilton and Max Verstappen gained positions. However, Max Verstappen lost ground as a result of serving a 20-second penalty, and Hamilton then began to close in on Russell.

After following Russell for a while, Hamilton eventually made the move stick into Turn 1 on Lap 65, which allowed him to climb up into fourth place.Hamilton went on to say that he was absolutely certain that the Mercedes duo would be able to compete in a clean manner for position throughout the course of their protracted conflict.

Hamilton stated, “I don’t think either of us are silly, and it’s pretty straightforward,” referring to the situation. “George is not only very intelligent but also very fair, and he is just really good at where he places his car, and I think that is true for me as well.
