Lewis Hamilton is at the center of discussion between Lando Norris and George Russell.
Lewis Hamilton was jokingly called “greedy” by George Russell, Lando Norris and Alex Albon as the trio discussed his and Max Verstappen’s desire to add more world championships to their collection .
The British legend already has seven F1 titles to his name, but he is still searching for an eighth World Championship, which would allow him to overtake Michael Schumacher in the record books and avenge the events of the night. concludes the 2021 season in Abu Dhabi.
At 38 years old, time is running out for Hamilton to win an eighth championship, but after signing a new two-year contract extension with Mercedes, he clearly still believes the team has the ability to catch Red Bull and give he machine wins again.
With Hamilton desperate to add another title to his tally and stand alone in the record books as the greatest driver of all time, that desire has prompted a few jokes from Russell, Albon and Norris as three F1 stars meet ahead of the Qatar Grand Prix.
With the three 2019 rookies reunited, they discussed the hunger to win titles with Russell kicking off the discourse by stating:
“As much as you’re enjoying points week in, week out, you probably weren’t satisfied either.”
Norris responded to this by stating:
“I guess you’re never satisfied are you,” to which Russell said:
“Unless you’re winning championships, and then like Max, he’s probably not satisfied with…”
Russell was then cut off by Norris who, with a smirk, said:
“I think he’s very satisfied.” Albon also chimed in on this front, joking:
“I think his bank account is satisfied as well,” forcing Russell to backtrack.
“I think he’s satisfied,” Russell explained, “But you know what I mean? It’s like there’s always… Alright, Lewis (Hamilton) as an example, he wants more than seven championships.” This prompted wry smiles from all three drivers with Norris joking:
“Yeah that’s just greedy,” before Russell and Albon both agreed.
While Hamilton will need Mercedes to muster some sensational winter development to fight for his eighth title next season, Verstappen is on the brink of adding another to his tally with his third World Championship up for grabs in Qatar this weekend.
The Dutchman, who turned 26 years old on Saturday, needs to score just three points in total across both the sprint race and the Grand Prix at the Lusail circuit to confirm his third successive title with five rounds of the season to spare.
