George Russell started strong from P4 on the grid, defending admirably against Perez. He battled with strength and determination throughout the race to maintain the position and finished in P5, despite the five-second penalty. Lewis Hamilton ran an offsetting strategy with hard tyres from take-off and climbed from 10th position to 6th, gaining ground after the swap to medium tyres at half distance. The Mercedes AMG team had the third-fastest car in the field behind Red Bull and Ferrari.

Welcome to Suzuka, Japan. 5.80 km of pure racing, where each decision affects the coming turns. A true driver’s track with the steering wheel in constant motion and a 285 km per hour turn at the infamous 130R. It's the only figure-of-eight track on the F1 calendar - Lewis Hamilton and George Russell are ready, are you? PETRONAS MOTORSPORTS #PETRONAS #MercedesAMGF1 Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team #JapanGP

What a weekend at Suzuka! Lewis Hamilton and George Russell finished fifth and seventh in Sunday’s Japanese Grand Prix. Lewis battled admirably after an early contact from Sergio Perez resulted in a drop of position. Fortunately, no damage was taken to the car, and Lewis was able to run a two-stop strategy, sticking with hard tyres, overtaking Alonso at the infamous 130R. Boxing for hard compound on lap 24, George put in a valiant effort running a one-stop strategy; however, despite their best efforts, the fresher-tyred cars could not be kept at bay.
