Toto Wolff has again heaped praise on George Russell while telling Lewis Hamilton his luck will soon change as the Mercedes team principal explained the latter' struggles this season.
The Mercedes drivers head to Barcelona for the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend in different moods, Russell buoyant after top five finishes in the opening five races of the 2022 Formula One season but Hamilton frustrated after some misfortune has contributed to a 23-point gap between his 24-year-old team-mate and the seven-times world champion.
In the last race in Miami - won by Max Verstappen - Russell overtook Hamilton in the late stages after a late safety car worked in his favour. And Wolff said: “Considering George's start position, it was a great recovery drive, helped by when the Safety Car was deployed.
