Lewis Hamilton took F1 by storm by winning his first-ever championship in the second year itself. The boy from Stevenage hasn’t looked back from that, as he has gone on to win a record seven world championships in his career.

The Silver Arrows ace, in his long and illustrious career, has had a lot of talented teammates alongside him. But, only two, Nico Rosberg and Jenson Button have been able to finish above Sir Lewis Hamilton in a season.

This is something that doesn’t happen often. However, George Russell looks to be in a position to achieve this rare feat against the F1 legend.

Mr. Consistency, George Russell, might not have one of those legendary Mercedes cars. But he has been able to make the best out of the tools at his disposal. With seven podiums this season, George Russell is currently 35 points ahead of Lewis Hamilton with just 6 races to go.

Speaking to VegasInsider on this topic, Emerson Fittipaldi, retired Brazilian automobile racing driver, said, “I think it’ll be great to see how they do against each other. I could see at the beginning of the season, Lewis was taking more time to adapt to the new rules.”

“It will be tough between both. Lewis has always been extremely talented and is a great champion. And George Russell, trying to be there. He’s the challenger. It’ll be great to watch.”
