George Russell is on a good tune with his car than Lewis Hamilton right from the first race of this season . Russell has consistently garnered a better performance from the car and has out shined seven time world champion Lewis Hamilton .
Russell leads Hamilton by 34 points in this season . The former Williams Driver has done an incredible job
1.Hamilton is new to this :
Lewis Hamilton has been provided a race winning car right from the start of hybrid era . He was in complete control in most of the races and was never in the fight with mid fielders .But with new regulations this season and with a not so good performing car , Hamilton has been suddenly put in a situation to fight with mid fielders which is completely new to him and had no experience in recent years ,whereas George Russell is having a prior experience on how to tackle the mid field .
2. The Porpoising issue :
Right from the start of the season all the teams have suffered from Porpoising , but Mercedes suffered the most . 37 Year old Lewis Hamilton suffered heavy back pain at the end of the races , whereas 24 years old George Russell only raised concern rather than revealing any physical issue .The age factor might have given George an upper hand in managing porpoising better than Lewis .
Verdict :
Though George Russell is currently leading Lewis Hamilton , it is unfair to judge both of them and it is very early in the season to do so .Lewis will always aim to bounce back to winning ways .With upgrades confirmed for British Grand Prix ,Mercedes will be hoping to give a better car to Lewis .
