Russell opens up to F1 fans with all-revealing Q&A

George Russell's path to F1 and to a plum seat with the mighty Mercedes squad is well chronicled.

The 23-year-old kickstarted his career in F1 in 2019 and raced for three seasons for the Grove-based outfit.

During that period, Russell learned the ropes of Grand Prix racing while impressively outperforming both his car's potential and teammates Robert Kubica and Nicholas Latifi.

His remarkable performances have earned him a drive for 2022 in Formula 1's most dominant team - Mercedes - and alongside the sport's most celebrated driver, seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton.

But on his way to the top and during his three seasons among motorsport's elite, as his talent blossomed, Russell garnered many memories.

From his favourite race to his racing idol, from his greatest strength to his most embarrassing moment in F1, Russell opened up in a quick-fire Q&A video session to help fans get to know him better.
