Russell - Hamilton Seal Perfect Las Vegas Triumph

Mercedes F1 secured a commanding one-two in Las Vegas, with Russell and Hamilton showcasing dominance to leave rivals behind.

Toto Wolff praised Mercedes F1’s double victory in Las Vegas after a race won by George Russell ahead of Lewis Hamilton. The Brackley team principal expressed his satisfaction with the dominant performance of his drivers.

“It’s good to come back with a one-two, and I’m happy with how we achieved it because we dominated the race. There were laps where we were two seconds faster, and that feels great,” Wolff told Canal+, while also addressing the criticism of Hamilton after Brazil.

“I think those who criticized Lewis saw that he has both the speed and the maturity. Even after a less strong qualifying session, he managed to fight back to the podium.”

The Austrian also acknowledged Max Verstappen’s title win: “He is very strong and deserves the championship. He’s a great champion, securing the title early in the year and managing it well.”
