After Surfing, Lewis Hamilton's "Next Up" Plan For Teammate George Russell
Amid the ongoing F1 season, Lewis Hamilton is having plenty of fun with Mercedes teammate George Russell.
Mercedes may have started off behind Ferrari in this year's Formula One season, but it hasn't stopped their star driver Lewis Hamilton from having some fun with teammate George Russell. Hamilton on Wednesday took to Twitter to share a picture with Russell, where both are seen with huge surf boards. Of course, it's no surprise given that they just completed the Australian Grand Prix. And that's not where it ends. Hamilton has more adventures with his teammate. "Next up: getting @GeorgeRussell63 to skydive," he captioned the picture.
