Fans react to Russell’s FP1 win saying ‘Hamilton is a fraud’

Fans reacted to George Russell’s FP1 win at the Sakhir Grand Prix as the British driver finished ahead of Red Bull duo Max Verstappen and Alex Albon.

George Russell’s Mercedes team-mate, Valtteri Bottas, was only fourth after managing a best lap time over three-tenths of a second slower than the young Brit’s fastest lap.

However, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff was quick to point out that Bottas damaged his car early in the session and was therefore compromised. Specifically, a bib on the underside of his Mercedes W11 was damaged and resulted in the Finn locking up his tyres more often.

Despite this, many F1 fans have taken to social media to suggest that Russell’s FP1 win proves that most drivers would do the same due to Mercedes’ superior pace.

Some even accused Lewis Hamilton of being a fraud and insisted that Russell’s pace during Sakhir GP FP1 shows he isn’t the greatest F1 driver of all-time.
