P1racenews AI automatic summary:
More intra-team fireworks between F1 teammates Lewis Hamilton and George Russell have been predicted because Mercedes have “absolutely no control” over their drivers.
Peter Windsor, former F1 team manager, believes that the collision between Hamilton and Russell at the Qatar Grand Prix is reminiscent of Hamilton’s crash with Rosberg in Spain 2016. He argues that Mercedes’ decision to have two highly competitive drivers has caused them a self-inflicted headache that will only worsen as their performance improves. Windsor suggests that someone like Valtteri Bottas or Sergio Perez should have been paired with Hamilton, as they would be more compliant and less likely to engage in aggressive racing. He asserts that George Russell, being a proven winner and an aggressive racer, would not have accepted the instructions to let Hamilton pass. Windsor predicts that this collision between Hamilton and Russell will not be the last, highlighting the ongoing gunfight at Mercedes between two strong drivers.
