 | Emerson Fittipaldi on Mercedes leader: Russell is good in qualifying but Hamilton is better in racing11-12-2022 |
Emerson Fittipaldi spoke about the struggle within Mercedes and the team`s chances of success in the coming races.
The two-time Formula 1 champion believes Lewis Hamilton is capable of winning the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
Yes. Mercedes has made progress in recent Grands Prix, [Hamilton] is doing great. In Brazil, he will have a good chance, of course. Mercedes can win the first victory of the year.
In addition, Abu Dhabi will remain if Brazil fails, ” Fittipaldi said.
The Brazilian answered the question of who will be the leader of Mercedes next season:
With all due respect, Lewis Hamilton still delivers results in racing. George Russell is a young and talented driver, and in qualifying he can do very well, but Lewis is better in terms of performance in races.
Emerson also commented on the award of Brazil to the seven-time world champion:
Lewis has said from the very beginning that he is a huge fan of Ayrton Senna, and last year was with the Brazilian flag. With this gesture, he touched the hearts of many Brazilian fans.
When he was in Brazil for the first or second time, he visited Ayrton`s grave and paid tribute to his memory. I think that`s why a lot of Brazilians like him.
