“What’s he supposed to do? Stay behind George on a set 🅘of tyres that are str♔uggling? He’s done his job and worked hard to get where he is. 

"He's a racing driver and wants the best results for him. This business of playing lip service to the team, of c🐬ourse✃ they need the team, but at the end of the day it's instinct and he's a racer.

“H𝐆amilton is perfectly entitled to be frustrated. He’s had to push the team to give up on these zero sidepods. 

“The ꦰfact that he had to push for that? And s💮tamp his feet? He got them to change direction but it’s late in the day.”

Hill continued: “He’s not a designer. Up against a Cambridge qualified engineer and designer, you can’t argue as a driver!&n𒉰bsp;

“But there’s something in you that tells you: ‘Everyone else is going that way, we’re going this way, but we’re not getting💦 results’. 

“The competitive instinct in Lewis tells him that he’s got to co𒉰mmunicate it to the team. He cou🎉ld be wrong! It could be embarrassing if you drag the team in the wrong direction.”
