Williams driver George Russell hopes that one day Lewis Hamilton will regret the advice he gave Russell. This advice was given to the young Briton even before he was active in Formula 1.

Advice

"I had a little bit of advice from Lewis about two years ago when I was racing in F2. We were in a debrief and I was struggling a little bit with something and I was talking to some of the engineers and he just gave me a bit of advice from the driving side", says Russell in a Q&A with Sky Sports.

"It was mainly about the tyres, and how to try and get more out of them. I’d say that was a little thing that helped me find that little bit extra, what I was just missing at the start of my F2 career", Russell continues.

Regret

"That’s actually pushed forward into F1 as well and has benefitted me as I moved into F1. That little piece of information triggered something in my mind and I think a lot about it and how I can get even more out of it. I hope I can make him regret giving me that advice one day", Russell ends.
