Nico Rosberg knows Lewis Hamilton better than many, so he has no doubts that the seven-time world champion is not happy with the situation where he is inferior to his partner, so intra-team competition at Mercedes will inevitably intensify.
“George Russell deserves special attention,” Niko told Sky Sports. “He’s doing a really great job when you consider how hard it is to drive this Mercedes car. However, it runs very stable, handles beautifully and makes no mistakes at all.
He always knows how to get the best possible result, which is really great. On Saturday in qualifying, one of the riders must have thought it would be wiser and safer to be happy with a 4th or 5th result, but not George. But he decided to fight for pole and was the only one who dared to put on slicks. He was only interested in the 1st result!
It’s great and it’s great to see him at work. At the same time, it has to be emphasized that Lewis is still in top form – he has just had a lot of bad luck this season, all the circumstances are against him. But the Canadian weekend was normal for him – for the first time in a long time, and he showed a good result.
I want to say that Mercedes now has a very strong pair of drivers and it will be very interesting to see how things develop. That said, make no mistake: Lewis hates losing to a partner. Therefore, he will be super motivated and there will be a very sharp rivalry within the team.”
