Lewis Hamilton crashed out on Lap 1 in Qatar after colliding with Mercedes team-mate George Russell.
George Russell revealed that he and Lewis Hamilton had spoken pre-Qatar GP about how they should approach the race start, with Russell’s wish of them both being on the podium quickly evaporating.
“We spoke about it and from our side I said this morning, ‘I just want us both to be sat on that podium,'” Russell told Sky F1. Of course, their Qatar GP did not go as planned, with Hamilton feeling the sadness for his part in that. Mercedes’ communications chief Bradley Lord said that while the start was discussed between their drivers before the race, they still “can’t programme everything” to make it go to plan, with the goal now being to ensure that lessons are learned so that this situation does not arise again.
