F1 legend notes Lewis Hamilton’s “shock” after George Russell “prioritised” by Mercedes
“The team knew🃏 the future lay with Russell, so they prioritised him all season, not Hamilton.”

F1 legend Juan Pablo Montoya believes a shift in team dynamics following 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton's decision to join Ferrari ahead of last year meant that Mercedes prioritised 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell “all season”.

While Hamilton claimed two victories, he was comprehensively out-performed by 🎶teammate Russell, particularly in qualifying, where Hamilton was only able 🌸to topple Russell on five occasions.
Hamilton’s poor form led him to question whether he still h💯as the speed to compete at the top of F1.
Montoya, who raced in F1 throughout the early 2🌄0♛00s, is adamant that the “right environment” at Ferrari will help bring out the best in Hamilton.
“The rig🅘ht environment will hel♈p Lewis Hamilton to get back to his best, especially in qualifying,” Montoya told wuqian0821.com via .
“Hamilton had a shock last year, he went from everyt𒁃hing being built around him and getting what he needed, to whatever George Russell wanted from Mercedes. The team knew the future lay with Russell, so they prioritise🔯d him all season, not Hamilton.
“Now, the attention to det𒆙ail on Hamilton’s car at Ferrari will be a lot better and any problems he may have will be solved as quickly as⛎ Russell’s problems were last season.”
