THIS season, rising British F1 racer George Russell will be driving for Mercedes. Call it fate, but Russell has always had a penchant for Mercedes. Russell proudly displays his cars on social media to over two million followers. One of Russell’s many heroes is the late, great Niki Lauda. During lockdown last year, Russell shared a picture of himself reading Lauda’s autobiography. Coupled with going to the gym, it’s what keeps Russell in peak condition and lean for a race car. This year, it will be Russell who will be hopeful of more fans cheering him in a Mercedes car.
