A prominent member of the Formula 1 community suggested Mercedes should rip up George Russell's contract to benefit Lewis Hamilton, in recently resurfaced footage.
Both Russell and Hamilton are not able to enjoy the success that they crave thanks to a less competitive car. The story has been the same ever since they first partnered up at the start of the 2022 season, with the younger Brit expecting to be able to compete for regular victories only to be left disappointed.
They worked well together last year to maximise their points, with Russell coming out on top in the intra-team battle by 35 points at the end of the year. Only two races have been run so far this year and just two points separate them at the moment with Hamilton slightly ahead.
