Lewis Hamilton consoles Russell after Imola mistake - F1 News

The Hindu  

Six-time world champion Lewis Hamilton led Formula One drivers past and present in consoling George Russell after a costly error in Sunday's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. "I'll never forget this day, this mistake," the Mercedes-backed driver posted on Instagram. David Coulthard, the former racer who made his F1 debut with Williams in 1994 after Brazilian Ayrton Senna died at Imola, said it was a "small blip in a long career ahead of you in F1." Australian Mark Webber, another former Williams driver, agreed it was a 'brutal' feeling but assured Russell he would, be better for it.
