Hamilton in new situation with ‘different calibre’ Russell

Timo Glock believes Lewis Hamilton is in uncharted waters in the battle against his team-mate, with George Russell showing himself to be a “different calibre” in the sister Mercedes.

Russell has finished in the top five of every race so far this season, and is also the only driver to finish every race inside the points in 2022.

He has also out-performed Hamilton at most races overall this year, leading the qualifying head-to-head 5-3 and is 7-1 ahead of the seven-time World Champion in race finishes.

Russell leads Hamilton by 37 points as a result, with the younger Briton having earned his third podium of the season in Azerbaijan.

Glock spoke of his worry about Hamilton’s form, in that he now finds himself as the driver looking to catch up to those in front, and such a change in mindset will be a significant adjustment for him.
