Lewis Hamilton was made fun of for being “greedy” by Lando Norris and teammate Russell.

George Russell, Lando Norris, and Alex Albon made light of Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen’s desire to add more World Championships to their resumes by calling him “greedy.”.

The storied British driver already holds seven F1 championships, but he continues to pursue an eighth title to surpass Michael Schumacher in the record books and exact revenge for the events of the Abu Dhabi season finale in 2021.

Time is running out for Hamilton to win his eighth championship at the age of 38, but he has shown that he still has faith in Mercedes by agreeing to a new two-year contract extension with the team, showing that he still thinks they can catch Red Bull and provide him with race-winning equipment.
.

Russell, Albon, and Norris cracked jokes about Hamilton’s desire to add another championship to his collection and cement his status as the greatest of all time as the three F1 stars reunited ahead of the Qatar Grand Prix.

The three 2019 rookies got back together to talk about their desire to win championships, with Russell opening the conversation by saying: “As much as you’re enjoying points week in and week out, you probably weren’t satisfied either.
“.

Norris replied, “I guess you’re never satisfied are you,” to which Russell retorted, “Unless you’re winning championships, in which case, like Max, he’s probably not satisfied with…”.

Russell was then interrupted by Norris, who smirked and remarked, “I think he’s very satisfied.
On this subject, Albon also chimed in, joking, “I think his bank account is satisfied as well,” which compelled Russell to retract his statement.

Russell said, “I think he’s satisfied, but you know what I mean?
It’s always… Alright, let’s take Lewis Hamilton as an example; he wants more than seven championships.
All three drivers grinned sardonically in response to this, with Norris first saying, “Yeah, that’s just greedy,” followed by nods from Russell and Albon.

Verstappen is poised to add to his collection of championships with his third World Championship up for grabs in Qatar this weekend, while Hamilton will need Mercedes to produce some sensational winter development to compete for his eighth title next season.

The Dutch driver, who turned 26 on Saturday, only needs three points overall from the sprint race and the Grand Prix at the Lusail circuit to clinch his third straight championship with five rounds remaining in the season.
