Lewis Hamilton tipped to make George Russell worry as he heaps pressure on Mercedes

Lewis Hamilton has been tipped to concern Mercedes team-mate George Russell as he gets used to the W13 car. Russell has so far outshone the seven-times world champion this season.

Hamilton is still familiarising himself with the new vehicle, which was revamped ahead of this season due to sweeping changes to the regulations. Both Mercedes drivers have struggled with their cars bouncing, although Russell has seemed to deal with the issue far better.

There has been just one podium finish for Hamilton this year, coming in the first Grand Prix in Bahrain. The 37-year-old has finished among the middle of the grid for the rest of the season.

But Sky Sports pundit Paul di Resta has backed Hamilton to 'worry' Russell while he acclimatises to the new Mercedes vehicle. The former Williams reserve driver was asked why Russell was coping better than Hamilton, responding: "It's not suiting him, some cars are like that with drivers. It depends on the nature of how you drive in it and how you feel in it. It looks like it's a bit more scrappy for Lewis.
