George Russell says himself and Lewis Hamilton have “always had a good relationship”, and he believes they will “work together to push the team forwards”.
Lewis says he understands the “pressures” of “being up against a world champion”, so he wants to help George “learn as much as he can and grow as much as he can”.
Toto Wolff says “Lewis is the best driver in the world, and he is joined by one of the brightest and most promising talents of their generation in George”.
Russell says Hamilton “is a fighter and a racer” whose “main priority is to be the best version of himself”, and he “knows what it takes to be world champion”.
