- Anonymous email alleged sabotage against Hamilton
- George Russell subject to abuse from fans on social media
Lewis Hamilton has denied there is any bias against him at Mercedes and defended his teammate George Russell after an anonymous email accusing the team of sabotaging Hamilton’s chances was sent to F1, the teams and the media last week.
Hamilton, who also used his press conference in Spain to call for ticket prices at the British Grand Prix in a few weeks to be reduced, will leave Mercedes to join Ferrari next season and has been struggling this season in an underperforming Mercedes. He has been outqualified by Russell in eight of the nine races thus far and recently there has been a swathe of accusations on social media claiming the team was attempting to wreck Hamilton’s efforts.
