- Mercedes explain Russell-Hamilton swap
Lewis Hamilton says he felt "exhausted" after a rollercoaster race which saw him nearly collide with Mercedes team-mate George Russell on two occasions and suggested they should have been switched around earlier when the pair found each other again near the end of the Japanese Grand Prix.
Hamilton and Russell traded positions after the Safety Car restart, with the seven-time world champion jinking to the right slightly on the fast run into Turn 1.
On Lap 16, Hamilton ran wide at the second Degner, which allowed Russell to get a run on him going towards Spoon Curve at Turn 13. However, Hamilton edged his team-mate out wide, so Russell questioned "are we fighting each other or the others?"

The other dramatic moment came with five laps to go as Hamilton found himself stuck behind Russell, who was trying to hold onto fifth place with a bold one-stop strategy.
Russell wanted to work together with Hamilton by keeping him in his DRS, rather than letting him through, so that both drivers could stay ahead of a charging Carlos Sainz. Coincidentally, Sainz made the DRS tactic work on his way to victory at the Singapore Grand Prix a week earlier.
Instead, Russell did let Hamilton by but was subsequently overtaken by Sainz too and finished in seventh. On the radio Russell said with frustration: "if you want to play the team game...he pushed me off the track earlier," referring to the incident with Hamilton earlier in the Grand Prix.
"When you're in the car and 48 laps in, you're giving it everything and you're making a sub-optimal strategy to try and work. That radio is a vent to release some frustration," explained Russell.
