George Russell has the advantage over Lewis Hamilton in qualifying 'a little bit in the way that Ayrton Senna was better than Alain Prost in qualifying...' F1 Mercedes Russell Hamilton
‘George Russell has the edge over Lewis Hamilton like Senna did against Prost’Formula 1 pundit Peter Windsor believes George Russell has an advantage over Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton in qualifying in a similar way to how Ayrton Senna had an edge over Alain Prost at McLaren.
Hamilton qualified 13th at last weekend’s Miami Grand Prix before recovering to sixth, two places behind Russell but 18 seconds behind.to pinpoint the areas in which Hamilton is weak compared to Russell and his predecessor Bottas, Windsor pointed to the younger man’s daring and precision on a qualifying lap.“Nothing against Valtteri but I don’t see one area where he was better than Lewis.
“The sort of mistakes Lewis makes are standard mistakes like getting the tyre warm up wrong or traffic, not pacing the traffic correctly, or maybe making a judgement call on setup and the tyre pressure doesn’t go the way they think it’s going to go – things like that.“I would say that it’s only that and I still think Lewis has got a wider palette of operational factors that he can play with than George in terms of his natural ability and what he can do with the car over a period of time.
