“They need to keep George happy, and that might come off the back of Lewis not being happy."
Lewis Hamilton has been accused of “spinning” his qualifying woes around Mercedes ’ upgrade in Monaco.After qualifying behind Russell for the seventh time in eight attempts this year, Hamilton oddly declared: “I don’t anticipate being ahead of George in qualifying particularly, this year.”“He didn’t,” the Andretti Indy NXT driver told Channel 4 after qualifying.“He’s spinning it, to make it sound like he’s not got the upgrades this weekend.“Lewis is probably not happy about that, to be honest.
Fox Mexico journalist Diego Mejia told the F1 Nation podcast: “It’s been a joy to speak to Lewis this year. “Although he’s not getting victories, podiums or pole positions, he has been quite relaxed. Looking at the bright side, always.“Since he was announced as a Ferrari driver, we knew at some point in the year he wouldn’t be in all the meetings with all the information.“But Lewis’ message is that this is coming earlier. That’s what it seems from the outside.”
Mercedes trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin insisted that Hamilton made the decision to let Russell run their only upgraded wing in Monaco “simply for us”. Shovlin added that the team anticipate having updated wing on each of their cars, plus a spare, in Canada for the next grand prix.
