Mercedes (Part 2) - The GOAT and Would-Be GOAT

Choosing Sides: F1

In this second episode of our Mercedes two-parter, Lily and Michael dive into the drivers at Mercedes. On one side of the garage is Sir Lewis Hamilton, the fashionable seven-time world champion, activist, and GOAT of Formula 1 who holds the distinction of being the sport’s first and only Black driver. On the other side is George Russell, the young gun who finally took his rightful place on the Mercedes throne after three years toiling away at Williams — only to join the team right as they hopped on the struggle bus in 2022.
Special thanks to our guests: Jennie Gow, Hazel Southwell, Aldas Kavaliauskas, and Sarah Levenson
