168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell has defended Lewis Hamilton after David Coulthard suggest🍒ed that the seven-time world champion was already focusing on Ferrari.

Hamilton’s 12-year tenure with Merceܫdes will come to an e🍒nd in December as he joins Ferrari for 2025.

The decision to join Ferrari se💝ems to have been the right one given the two teams’ c♛ontrasting fortunes in the opening three rounds.

Ferrari stormed to a 1-2 finish in the Australian Grand Prix, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz taking the victory.

On t𝄹he other hand, Mercedes suffered a double D🏅NF, making it their worst start to a season in well over a decade.

Hamilton has been genera🤡lly out-performed by Russell, losing out in all three qualifying sessions.

As a result, Coulthard criticised Hamilton: "He's just not been settled with this car and you can tell, you꧒ know, George is just honing the lap time right now and you can feel that Lewis is on the back foot.

"What we do know though, if he does find a window of performance, then yo🍎u know he will deliver. But right now, it's looking like his decision to head off to Ferrari, mentally, he is already there."

However, Russell has defended his current 🌞teammate, insisting “nothing has changed” despite the Ferrari newꦓs.

"I think🏅 since Lewis' news, I think Lewis has been incrediblyౠ professional with the team and the working relationship with everybody within Mercedes is like nothing has changed whatsoever,” Russell said.

"And the team have been so great. They've given us both equal opportunities. It's always been that from the outset. And whenever upgrades are bringing [sic] to the car, it's going t𓃲o both of us at the same time, whereas other teams they go one before the other.

"And that’s always the way at Mercedes. They want to give both drivers the best chance of achieving the best results and then going into next year, no matter who my team-mate is going to be, that w𒀰ill still continue to be the same."
