- GPblog.com
The Formula 1 season is over and so it is time for drivers and teams to take a breather and enjoy a well-deserved holiday. In GPblog's F1 Social Stint, you can read what drivers and teams are up to during their holidays.
Russell bothered by Hamilton's singing
George Russell would like to be able to relax before a race, but with Lewis Hamilton as a teammate, that doesn't quite work out yet. "At all of the races, Lewis and I - our rooms are back-to-back and Lewis quite likes to sing before jumping in the car. So I’m just there, and I can just hear Lewis over the wall singing away. I’m not too sure that’s relaxing", Russell says. Hamilton feels it could be a lot worse. For example, the Briton experienced a teammate kicking a ball around in his room.
"Lewis likes to sing!"
