'Everyone got heat stroke'- Lando Norris gets brutal on Lewis Hamilton and George Russel's health issues

Lando Norris won the Singapore GP which was considered one of the toughest in recent times. The temperature was above 30 degrees and many felt the heat and humidity before and after the race. The two Brits Lewis Hamilton and George Russell both skipped their media duties after the race citing health issues. Usually, drivers used to meet the press and give answers during race weekend.  

Lewis Hamilton started the race in third position, but Mercedes failed to give him the right strategy and he lost his position and ended in sixth place. His teammate George Russell finished in 4th despite having a threat from Charles Leclerc of Ferrari. 

But post the race George and Lewis were absent and media duties were handled by Team Principal Toto Wolff. He said “Unfortunately neither George and Lewis will be attending the media pen this evening as they recover from the exertions of this evening's race. They did not feel well, borderline heatstroke or something like that, but they have had water.”
