    George Russell delivered a cold message to Mercedes directors about his team-mate Lewis Hamilton as the pair battled for position at the Japanese GP. <\/p>\n

    Hamilton and Russell had been on the same page last weekend in Singapore, but the pair were at odds in Japan. And Russell was forced to defend under mounting pressure from his team-mate.<\/p>\n

    The British megastar attempted to pass Russell, forcing both of them off the track, to which Russell fumed: "Who do we want to fight here, each other or the others?" The stewards investigated the incident, but there was no punishment.<\/p>\n

    "There will be no love lost between Russell & Hamilton," one fan joked. While a second shared: "I stand by my view that if Mercedes ever fixed their car, the fight between Russell & Hamilton for that championship would eclipse the rivalry between Hamilton & Rosberg!"<\/p>\n

    "This battle between Russell & Hamilton is quite entertaining," a third joked. And another added: "If Mercedes get a championship winning car for 2024-2025, the Russell\/Hamilton relationship will implode!"<\/p>\n

    In the final few laps of the race, Hamilton, who was on fresher tyres, was stuck behind Russell – with Carlos Sainz bearing down on the pair. Russell argued he was helping defending fifth and sixth for Mercedes.<\/p>\n

    However, orders came from above to let Hamilton pass, leaving Russell less than impressed. Russell then slammed Hamilton for "not playing the team game" when he was unable to get DRS from his car.<\/p>\n

    Sainz was able to pass Russell, handing Ferrari more points in the constructers championship.<\/p>\n
