Hamilton Got 'Wake-Up Call' From Russell After Getting 'Comfortable' With Bottas As Teammate

"He was alone in the championship, basically. He didn't even need to be at his best to win like he had to do in his first championship. Or a few other years against Nico because Nico was really pushing him."

"He got really comfortable with Bottas, and he had a little bit of a wake-up call in 2022 when George [Russell] joined. George just had that young energy, wanting to destroy the world, and he did a lot better last year."

"Now, going to Ferrari might be like that little shock that you get... to give him that 'youth' attitude. It will be exciting to follow, and hopefully, we get the Lewis of his winning days back."

"That change might build up the hunger again, that little adrenaline rush that wasn't there with the Mercedes that wasn't winning anymore."
