George Russell rubbished claims Lewis Hamilton is a ‘dirty’ driver and claimed there was no foul play on behalf of the Mercedes star in his Silverstone crash with Max Verstappen.
Verstappen was sent cannoning into the tyre wall at Copse corner at 180mph on the opening lap of the British Grand Prix earlier this month before later being taken to Coventry hospital for further examinations.
Hamilton, who was labelled ‘desperate’ and ‘dirty’ by Red Bull chief Christian Horner, was adjudged to have been 'predominantly’ at fault and was handed a 10-second time penalty in the race - something which proved redundant when he passed Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc to take victory with two laps to go in Northamptonshire.
