"He didn't tell me this, but I’m up for it," replied Russell.

"I'm game. you go every year. I never get an invite. So I feel privileged to be invited.

Russell also couldn't resist the chance to crack a joke out of the situation.

"I've never done it, we're not going tandem are we?" he asked.

Hamilton simply replied with a laugh and a shake of the head.

Whilst Mercedes have struggled to have any major success on the track in the 2023 season, it appears that Hamilton and Russell's bond is growing by the minute.
