GEORGE RUSSELL has hit back at Lewis Hamilton’s claim that he had luck on his side during the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix. Russell outperformed Hamilton in qualifying before finishing P4, a place above his team-mate, in the race. However, Russell rubbished this claim while firing a sly dig towards Hamilton’s approach to the race while in Melbourne, Australia. “I think it’s down to the preparation you put in before the event. “I think the thing I was commenting on is that there’s one specific thing that you can change in the suspension that you have to do over Friday night. “I’ve done it in the past, sometimes it hasn’t worked, sometimes it has, and it worked great for George and he did a great job.
