"He wanted to get the message out ‘George, you only overtake me when I’m having a really rubbish race…’"
Lewis Hamilton accepted blame for a bad race in Canada as part of a mind game against George Russell, it has been suggested.
But Russell’s late overtake of his esteemed teammate might be the root cause of an unusual Hamilton post-race quote, it has been claimed.F1 Nation podcast host Tom Clarkson said: “Lewis Hamilton was buoyed by knowing that he would have the front wing on his car, which he hadn’t run in Monaco. “And he wanted to get the message out ‘George, you only overtake me when I’m having a really rubbish race…’“Whatever he says, people will spin it. They say ‘one moment you blame the upgrades, then you blame the team…’
“I thought it was amazing to hear. Here is a man who doesn’t have anything to prove to anyone and he was still prepared to own it, in that moment.”“Yet, on Saturday after qualifying, he was saying ‘I don’t understand why the performance of my car drops away in qualifying’.
