itemprop=description content=Hamilton was sent into the gravel with the right-rear of his Mercedes flying off in the accident
Lewis Hamilton is out of the Qatar Grand Prix after a dramatic collision with Mercedes team-mate George Russell at the very first corner of Sunday’s race.
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff is absent from this race – his second in a row – as he recovers from knee surgery.“George, let’s race now, and get the best out of it,” he said.“In the heat of the moment, it was frustrating because I felt this tap from the rear but I don’t think George had anywhere to go,” he said.
“Before the race, we knew we were on different tyres so we wanted to work together. I had the soft tyre and everyone around me was on the medium and I needed to get by. I tried going round the outside of Max and it just didn’t work out. Hamilton insisted his partnership with Russell had not been damaged by the collision. Mercedes announced at the end of August that Hamilton and Russell will continue alongside each other until at least the end of 2025.
