Who can forget about the infamous Silver Wars between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg? It seems another Silver War is about to wage at the Brackley base. The seven-time world champion showcased annoyance when his engineer told him about teammate George Russell’s sector time at the Saturday practice session in Spain.

The Silver Arrows are the reigning constructor champions. But they are not able to reach the front of the grid in 2022. Further, the 2022 car, built following the new regulations, cannot perform the way the Silver Arrows wanted it to.

The Mercedes duo has complained about the poor drivability of the car. The car has been struggling with significant porpoising. But George Russell can bring the best out of the car despite the troublesome porpoising while Hamilton is struggling. Russell has performed better than Lewis in the last four out of the five races.

Because of Russell’s excellent performance, he might have become the favorite at the Brackley base. And this is threatening the 37-year-old who has been the Mercedes number one for a long time. At the FP3 of the Spanish GP, the Mercedes engineer Peter Bonnington informed Hamilton that the sector times he was given were against Russell. But the seven-time world champion snapped at Bono and said, “I only ever want to know the fastest times.”

The fans are divided into groups. Like some supported Lewis for his reply to Bono, stating those are winning mentality that helped him dominate the sport in the past. Meanwhile, some fans are against Lewis’s response to Bono, as they believe he should first outperform George and then think about the faster cars.

George is performing better in the 2022 challenger compared to Lewis. So, Hamilton has to outperform his young teammate in the Barcelona race. It will show that he is still the number one driver for the Brackley base. Do you think Hamilton can beat Russell in the Spanish GP?
