Mercedes driver George Russell jokingly mocks teammate Lewis Hamilton’s “relaxation method”
Mercedes duo Lewis Hamilton and George Russell engaged in playful banter ahead of F1’s return from its summer break for the Dutch GP, scheduled for August 23-25.
Hamilton and Russell have landed in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and attended an event organized by sponsor Tommy Hilfiger. During the event, the veteran Mercedes driver revealed how he’s always singing in the motorhome.
During the discussion, George Russell jokingly suggested that Lewis Hamilton’s relaxation method could be a distraction tool, as he can constantly hear the music from Hamilton’s side. However, he ultimately admitted that it was relaxing.
“But I’m always singing…” Hamilton said, before Russell interjected,”I don’t know if that’s your relaxation method or distraction method for me… I’m just listening and relaxed.”
Lewis Hamilton mentioned that it could have been much worse, recalling how his former McLaren teammate from Finland, Heikki Kovalainen, used to blast heavy metal music on race weekends. Hamilton vividly remembers thinking his head would explode from the intense music.
“It could be way worse, when I was with Heikki, he was playing like heavy metal stuff. I was like, ‘Oh my God, my head is going to explode.'”
