Once retired, Lewis Hamilton will certainly not leave his role as a leading British driver in bad hands. One is certainly Lando Norris, for whom the seven-time world champion has already spent words of praise that are worth more than a thousand certificates. Another has him as a teammate in Mercedes, and that is George Russell which is putting him in difficulty with his constant performance. Russell and Norris are very good friends: favored by a jovial character, they like to joke around in the paddock, and especially with Charles Leclerc and Alex Albonfor a quartet that also gave a show on Twitch. The Anglo-Thai, returning to Formula 1 after the year ‘on the bench’ at Red Bull, is proving to deserve the place among the 20 ‘greats’, regardless of the controversy in Monte Carlo with Leclerc, having brought the Williams scored twice in seven races. A goal that teammate Nicholas Latifi has not even come close to.
Russell complimented Albon, calling his replacement in Williams even one of the best drivers in the paddock: “I think Alex has done an amazing job so far. He has had a difficult time at Red Bull, it is well known, but I believe that all of us, probably even Max Verstappen, knew how talented Alex was“, Said the Mercedes driver as reported by the Formula 1 website.”We have been racing together since 2011, at the time he was competing against Nyck de Vries in KF1 (the highest level of karting, ed.). It has always been one of the best. For me it is not a surprise, I am happy to see that he is back and that he has strengthened his position in the category“.
