Lewis Hamilton in rare agreement with Fernando Alonso over F1 star George Russell

Hamilton is in agreement with his old McLaren team-mate Alonso and thinks Russess has huge potential to be a star in F1.

“What he’s been able to do similar to if you look at Alonso [at Minardi in 2001] and drivers coming into one of the teams that are further back,” he said.

“Having an opportunity to grow and improve, and lead a team and make mistakes, all those different things.

“This year he’s just been great how he’s handles everything and what he’s done with that car to put it into Q2 quite often and really delivering great results. Really impressed with his race craft and how he’s growing.
