Russell makes a striking statement about Hamilton’s Mercedes exit: ‘no way’
Lewis Hamilton won his first race since 2021 last time out in Silverstone. The seven-time world champion will be hoping to be competitive again this weekend in his rejuvenated Mercedes W15. His teammate George Russell, who won the race before Silverstone in Austria, believes Hamilton wouldn’t have left for Ferrari had he known the Mercedes would’ve improved so drastically.
I don’t think he would have left if the team was performing like this. No way he would have left, for sure not,” Russell told Reuters. “For 2026 the PU’s looking really strong and everything we’re doing with the fuels is looking great and there’s a lot of optimism for us over the next couple of years,” explained Russell. Ferrari has suffered from a difficult string of races. The Italian team will be looking for a much-needed bounce back in Hungary.
‘You want to be in the fastest car and it doesn’t matter what colour it is’
“It just kind of feels like it’s clicking now. I don’t think there’s ever been more than a tenth or two splitting the two of us and that gives me a lot of confidence,” he said. “In a different era, I know I’d have been fighting for world championships. Now I hope this is our time to come, from now onwards.” The Brit concluded. It is yet to be announced who will be replacing Hamilton at Mercedes, but whoever it is will be inheriting a highly competitive spot on the grid. It remains to be seen whether or not Hamilton’s decision will come back to bite him.
