Hey sports fans, Coach Jim here!
George Russell has come to the defense of his former Mercedes teammate, Lewis Hamilton, after the latest F1 game driver ratings were released. In the upcoming 2025 edition of the game, Hamilton received an 89 rating, which is lower than drivers like Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz. Russell called the decision “very controversial,” expressing his belief that the seven-time world champion deserved a higher rating.
Each year, the F1 game ratings stir up heated discussions among fans and gamers, and this year’s ratings are no exception. EA Sports revealed the updated numbers, with some notable surprises, such as Hamilton’s relatively lower rating compared to younger drivers who are considered to be on the rise. Fans took to social media to voice their opinions, with many agreeing that the rating was unfair to Hamilton given his consistent dominance in the sport.
Russell’s comments highlight the respect he has for Hamilton’s legacy and talent, and it shows how even teammates recognize the disparity in the rankings. With the F1 game being such a prominent part of motorsport culture, it’s clear the debate over the ratings will continue to fuel conversations for weeks to come.
