F1 LIVE: Russell concerned about Hamilton as FIA investigate Ferrari | F1 | Sport

George Russell has admitted he is concerned Lewis Hamilton is getting back to his best. At the Barcelona GP, Hamilton scooped up his first win at Ferrari.

It came after back-to-back second placed finishes, a run which has propelled him up to second in the standings. Looking on, Russell said: “You need yourself, your team, the setup, the understanding of the tyres, everything just to click.

“And when it clicks, you fly. As he said, ‘it’s beautiful’. And that’s where he is at the moment. And for sure, he is a big threat. Ferrari are a huge threat.

“Kimi is still very much the driver out front and his performance really incredibly and consistently. But Ferrari feel like they’re coming and Lewis is at the forefront of that.”
