Former F1ꦛ driver Emanuele Pirro has offered Wolff some advice on the eve of the 2023 season. 

“At Red Bull, the distribution of roles betꦐween Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez is clᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚear. Max is the stronger driver,” Pirro said. 

“But when you ไhave two e🦄qual drivers, like Hamilton and Russell at Mercedes or Leclerc and Sainz at Ferrari, the team boss then has to support the driver who has more difficulties. Like parents helping a weaker child. 

“After that, in the difficult moments, the💜 driver who can bring the e♎xtra flash of inspiration will prevail. That makes the difference between the teammates.”

Hamilton and Russ⭕ell are set to embark on their second season as teammates a🅺nd have so far enjoyed a strong working relationship. 

While Russell acknowledged the dynamic will be different were he and Hamilton to find themselves fighting for wins and the world championship, the Briton insists there is 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:“no reason” for conflict to emerge between the pair. 

“If you are fighting for one-twౠos there will be a slightly different dynamic and that’s only natural,” Russell said in response to a question from w🉐uqian0821.com during an interview at the end of 2022. 

“But I think the thing we have going for us is the fact thaﷺt we are at very different stages of our career. It kind of feels like we are in this together, really. 

"If we get to next yꦗear and we’ve got a car that’s capable of one-two finishes, we will have a huge amount of pride in thinking we have contributed together in helping the team achieve this. And then we go about our business. 

“But we’ve got no reason to have conflict. Weဣ have got a good relationship. We need to♌ give each other respect, and I think we gave each other respect in Mexico, as an example. 

“We recognise the importance of that within the whole team. If our relationship starts to break up, it’s going to have an impact on the team and ultimately it’s going to go full circle and affect us as w💫ell. 

“I think we can continue to build off this and if anything our rel𓆉ationship will probably get closer as time goes on.”
