Lewis Hamilton is no longer the "top dog" in F1. This is the view of former F1 team owner Eddie Jordan. According to EJ, as Jordan is known, the introduction of George Russell has been a game-changer at Mercedes as Hamilton has somewhat struggled against his new teammate.When questioned if Russell has proven his worth at Mercedes, EJ emphatically replied, saying:“Absolutely, I think the big surprise is, everybody globally, in Formula 1 context, thinks that Lewis Hamilton is top dog. But he’s no longer top dog, not even in that team because [George] Russell has taken his perch away. And I think it’s very interesting to watch and I want to see how Lewis is going to overcome that.”George Russell@GeorgeRussell63Tricky race with a few tense moments but more points in the bag and some really encouraging pace in the second stint.

The Austrian replied that he couldn't help but smile at those suggestions.Wolff said:“I hardly follow it [the reports]. And when I pick up one or two remarks, I can only smile about them. George is doing a good job, but that’s exactly what we expected of him, that’s why he’s with Mercedes.”Lewis Hamilton is still the king in terms of race pace: Juan Pablo MontoyaBleacher Report@BleacherReport.@KingJames 🤝 @LewisHamiltonTwo legends linked up at the Monaco Grand Prix (via @kevinlove)144061025.@KingJames 🤝 @LewisHamiltonTwo legends linked up at the Monaco Grand Prix (via @kevinlove) https://t.co/WXzGz2A3OXFormer McLaren driver Juan Pablo Montoya feels that, while George Russell seems to have the edge on one-lap pace, Lewis Hamilton still holds the edge in race pace, as with Valtteri Bottas in previous seasons. Suggesting that George Russell still needs to learn that part of the game, the Colombian said:“I think George, on one-lap pace, is doing a much better job than Lewis – he’s getting more out of the car on one lap. When Lewis is on his A-game, he’s hard. I think George can do a job on one lap but he’s got a lot to learn from Lewis on race pace. Same as when Valtteri [Bottas] was there, the pace of Lewis in the races was incredible.”For now, though, Hamilton has a lot of work to do in terms of catching up to his teammate. Russell has been a revelation for the team with his consistency in every race.
