George Russell says Lewis Hamilton “is not only the greatest driver of all time but is the type of person that every racing driver should aspire to be”.

Lewis Hamilton’s amazing drive from P16 to P4 at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, included an overtake on his team-mate George Russell on the last lap of the race.

Afterwards, George was full of praise for his departing team-mate.

“Lewis had an amazing race, so I want to say a big well done to him,” the Briton said.
