 3. Lewis Hamilton Accused Of ‘spinning’ George Russell Head-to-head After
    Monaco Upgrades


LEWIS HAMILTON ACCUSED OF ‘SPINNING’ GEORGE RUSSELL HEAD-TO-HEAD AFTER MONACO
UPGRADES

Michelle Foster 28 May 2024 10:30 AM



Lewis Hamilton ran the old Mercedes front wing in Monaco

Falling 7-1 behind George Russell in qualifying and blaming that on his
team-mate getting Mercedes’ new front wing in Monaco, Jamie Chadwick says Lewis
Hamilton is “spinning” the narrative.

Arriving in Monaco 6-1 down on Russell in the intra-Mercedes team-mate
qualifying battle, Lewis Hamilton put his latest defeat to his team-mate down to
Russell running Mercedes’ new front wing in Monte Carlo.




LEWIS HAMILTON DOESN’T EXPECT TO BEAT GEORGE RUSSELL IN 2024 QUALIFYING

Qualifying P7, 0.08s down on Russell who was P5, Hamilton said: “I anticipated
it would be difficult to outqualify George because he has the upgraded
component, but it’s just great to see that we are bringing upgrades.

“I already know automatically that I’m going to lose two-tenths going into
qualifying. That’s definitely frustrating.”

Going on to declare he does “not anticipate being ahead of George in qualifying
particularly this year”, Hamilton was pressed on the claim with a “we’ll see”
reply.

But rather than read too much into Hamilton’s comment, Williams development
driver Chadwick believes Hamilton is “spinning it” to suit his narrative.

“I think he knows what he’s doing,” Chadwick told Channel 4.

“He’s spinning it to make it sound like he’s maybe not got the upgrades this
weekend which for me, I’m not sure about because a team like Mercedes, they
generally always bring upgrades to both cars.

“It’s not like they need to split it between the two cars.

“So yeah, I think he should take his hat off to George. He’s 7-1 on someone like
Lewis Hamilton, which is incredible.

“And I think Lewis is probably not happy about that, to be honest. And that’s
where that comment has come from.”

Hamilton did in fact not have the upgraded front wing in Monaco, one report
claiming the drivers tossed a coin to decide who would run it, another by Jenson
Button saying the seven-time World Champion opted not to as damaging the wing in
qualifying would’ve meant a pit lane start as he would’ve had to revert to an
old spec.

Chadwick reckons Hamilton best get used to be second on the list when it comes
to new Mercedes parts.

“He’s on his way out next year,” she added, “George is going to be staying in
that seat for what they hope is a long time so they need to keep that seat and
keep George happy.

“And obviously that might come off the back of maybe Lewis being not so happy
but at the same time he’s done an incredible job, he’s smashing him.”



Up on Hamilton in qualifying and race stats, Russell is also ahead of his
team-mates in the Drivers’ standings with 54 points to 42.
