Russell Predicts Hamilton Stays a Few More Years in F1
Mar.15 - George Russell can imagine Lewis Hamilton as his continuing Mercedes teammate "for a few more years".
It is clear that, eventually, Toto Wolff sees the much younger Briton Russell as the ultimate successor to 38-year-old teammate Hamilton.
But although Hamilton and team boss Wolff are yet to reach a deal for a new contract for the seven time world champion, 25-year-old Russell thinks one will be signed.
When asked by the Dutch publication Formule 1 if Hamilton is his best ever teammate, Russell answered: "Easily.
Lewis Hamilton and George Russell
"You notice in everything that he does that he still has that fire. I can certainly see him racing here for a few more years.
"The fact that last season was not great was a new challenge for him. It motivated him. But it doesn't stop me from wanting to beat him," he insists.
"I believe in myself. I am convinced that one day I can beat anyone."
And Russell insists that as long as Hamilton is in the other garage, that only pushes the team forwards.
"With someone like Lewis next to you, that learning process is so much faster. I had never experienced that until last season - being pushed like that by a teammate. Suddenly you see that the bar is much higher," he said.
"Then you also learn so much more about yourself. It makes you better, stronger, faster."

The longer he stays,The higher King G stock will rise, as for best ever team mate question , not really much to compare against is it..!
I don't think anyone can doubt Louise's ability in the cockpit, with 7 WDC's to her credit. It's Louise's foolish antics out of the car that bring discredit, scorn and disdain to her.
Time for Louise to retire to an Austin dealership in Puddletown!
Try to remember that most of the ‘foolish antics’ are dreamt up by the media and that far more ‘discredit, scorn and disdain’ is brought on some of the contributors on this site who actually live in Puddletown.
Sadly Lewis pays the penalty for being different and enormously successful.
Sir Lewy is only "enormously successful" because he's had the best car....as discussed previously MOST of the current Drivers would have achieved the same result if they had the same opportunity....his antics in F1 would not be tolerated in other sports !!!!
Do you not mean that the car was successful?
Many drivers would have won 🏆 with the same equipment and financing behind them
What's with the girl's name? is that supposed to be a child'ish insult shroddypost, head of the f1 KKK branch, would be proud of.
(See this name calling can go both ways)
Same
I have to say that I admire Sir Louis Hamilton's willingness to do what it takes to reach the 105 win mark.
just a shame end of 21 ,she goes into hiding and has zero input into the new car and so the 22 car is shite, so if shed not been such a recluse and with all her expertise the 22 car wouldn't have been a dog (using Lucille Logic ) , so winter 22 , Lucy says look, i'm the greatest and this is what i need, and (she says) her team didn't listen, perhaps they didn't listen to her because shes never in the factory, i've no sympathy for Christian or Lulu, they've essentially brought this on themselves, i've said it before, Christian has done nothing prior to walking into Merc with an already championship winning car on the grid, so no experience of coming from behind, as for not listening to Lala, there are 2 drivers in that team not just Princess gaga, Now the media are openly saying when will Louise retire, thats funny , i've been saying that since 21, as for going to Ferrari, Why? Mercedes are the best aren't they? Never any interviews between the media IE the Sky Family and Lewises Husband-Blondie, whys that i wonder, I mean she gave him massages when his back was broken and he had concussion, she deserves more media time Imo, Blondie, Blondie, Blondie
Well yea it is what it is, loads a money and a world championship or just loads a money, either way with his lovely blond partner to keep him company and the knowledge that he beat Schumaker 3 -0 on track in spite of Schumakers dirty defending (warned twice) and vastly greater experience. Oh,and loads a money but of course you know all that.
A little over the top, Shrop...
Please get back on your meds asap, we like you better that way!
your gonna have to tell me which bits are over the top, I thought it was pretty accurate lol
Nore Bad News For the Dame Im afraid, Blondie has divorced her, and will no longer be at her side as of this weekend , running after her , wiping her nose(oops be careful of the nose jewellery) and generally being her dogsbody
A replacement gofar will be announced in due course, applications in the post to the usual address
Now what about some Fp1..........
Got to admit Shropp I'm feeling sorry for sir Lulu losing Angie, how the hell is he going to to cope without her, she was his mainstay, when did she go? Was she at Bahrain? its no wonder he's not a happy chappie. Who's his new carer,. 😜
New Carer ...lol,no idea, im not saying its a bit of a theme but he sacked his long term manager a cpl of yrs ago , now his long term arsewiperm , maybe shed had enough of her tantrums and insecurities, anyhow fp2 King G has added to the Dames woes by trouncing her on the time sheets
Yupp I noticed,. Who's the new girl from AM,, Bernie Collins in the green jumpsuit,, refreshing no surprise Alonsos doing well,. Prediction correct at the moment, Alonso second place.
Whose fascinated by money, more money, the most money , clearly by mentioning it 3 times you are, I never mention money.
Strop i’m Surprised. You seem to be fascinated by everything about Sir Lewis , most especially his inferred sexuality, is there something you’re not telling us sweetie.
@Donalf , I cant believe it and on Sky too , a pundit who actually knows what they are talking about too, Go Sky Go
