Bradley Lord says Lewis Hamilton’s apology to George Russell “shows that champions aren’t just made in the winning moments, but also in the most difficult ones”.
Toto Wolff’s deputy Bradley Lord says Mercedes have “our ‘racing intent’, our shared document that we all buy into as to how we approach races as a team”.
George Russell says he and Lewis Hamilton “have so much respect for one another”, and they will speak about their Qatar GP crash and “go past this”.
Lewis Hamilton says he doesn’t “have any problems with George”, and adds they will talk about their crash “offline”, and then they’ll “move forward”.
George Russell says “nothing was intentional from either side” in his collision with Lewis Hamilton, but he ‘definitely appreciates’ Lewis apologising.
Toto Wolff’s deputy Bradley Lord says “the worst possible thing that can happen for a race team to see your two cars collide”.
After his Qatar GP collision with George, Lewis said he doesn’t “think George had anywhere to go”, and added the collision was “100% my fault”.
Lewis Hamilton will be investigated by the stewards for an infringement that happened after his collision with George Russell on Lap 1 of the Qatar GP.
Lewis Hamilton, George Russell and Trackside Engineering Director Andrew Shovlin give their comments on the Qatar Grand Prix Sprint Race.
