Biography
George Russell lives by the motto "If in doubt, go flat out," defining his F1 career. Out-qualifying Kubica in every rookie race, he brought Williams back to the podium in 2021 and clinched his first win with Mercedes in 2022. Titles in GP3 and Formula 2 drew Mercedes to sign him in 2017. A standout moment was Sakhir 2020, narrowly missing pole but outperforming Bottas. In 2021, Russell earned points and podiums with Williams. Moving to Mercedes in 2022, he secured his maiden F1 win in Brazil. Despite 2023 challenges, 'Russell the Rocket' eyes a title bid with Silver Arrows resurgence, always going flat out.
