George William Russell (
After winning several karting championships including the CIK-FIA European Karting Championship in 2012, he repeated his success by becoming the 2018 Formula 2 champion and the 2017 GP3 Series champion, driving for ART in both campaigns to become one of only three drivers to win both championships in his respective rookie seasons. Following his Formula 2 championship win, Russell signed for Williams in 2019, making his debut at the 2019 Australian Grand Prix. He stood in for Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes at the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix, but was denied a Grand Prix victory due to strategic errors. In 2022, Russell departed Williams to race for the Mercedes team, having been a member of the Mercedes Junior Driver Programme since 2017. Russell achieved his first F1 victory at the 2022 São Paulo Grand Prix.
As of the 2024 Chinese Grand Prix, Russell has achieved one victory, one pole position, six fastest laps and eleven podium finishes in his career. Russell is contracted to drive for Mercedes until the conclusion of the 2025 season.
Early life
Russell was born in King's Lynn, Norfolk,[2] to father Steve and mother Alison,[3] the youngest alongside two siblings: a sister, Cara, and an older brother, Benjy.[4][5]
Russell took up karting at the age of 7, having spent much of his time around karting tracks and his brother Benjy, who was also involved in competitive karting. Russell attributes his brother as the reason for using the number 63 as his permanent race number in Formula One.[6]
Growing up in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, Russell was educated at the Wisbech Grammar School,[7] before moving to Milton Keynes at the age of 18 to be closer to his racing teams. Since 2022, Russell has been living in Monaco.[4]
Like his father, he is a fan of

GP3 Series
Russell signed with ART Grand Prix for the 2017 GP3 Series season.[28] He had previously driven for the team at the post-season test at Yas Marina in November 2016.[29]
Russell made a solid start to the season at the Circuit de Catalunya, Barcelona, where he finished the weekend with 4th and 5th position finishes. The next race at the Red Bull Ring saw him take his maiden pole position and victory in the GP3 Series.[30] Russell scored back to back pole positions at his 'home race' at Silverstone, before converting this into another victory in the first race of the weekend and taking 4th position in the second race, on his way to taking the championship lead.[31]
A dominant performance at Spa-Francorchamps soon followed which saw Russell build his championship lead advantage, after taking a victory and a 2nd position in the two races, alongside Pole Position and Fastest Lap in both races.[32]
The next round at Monza saw only one GP3 Series event take place after adverse weather conditions resulting into the Saturday Race being cancelled.[33] Russell won a titanic tussle with his ART Grand Prix teammates Jack Aitken and Anthoine Hubert to seal his fourth victory of the season.[34]
Russell had taken four victories, three pole positions, and five further podiums to put him in a position to seal the championship at Jerez, with a complete round of the championship still to run at Yas Marina. Russell won the 2017 GP3 Series title after taking 4th position in race two, giving him an unassailable lead in the championship standings.[35]

He would later go on to win the title with a victory in the feature race at Abu Dhabi after a season-long fight with fellow Brit Lando Norris. With his title, he became the fifth rookie champion of the GP2/F2 category (previously achieved by Nico Rosberg, Lewis Hamilton, Nico Hülkenberg, and Charles Leclerc), and the fourth driver after Hamilton, Hülkenberg and Leclerc to win the GP3/F3 and GP2/F2 titles in consecutive seasons.
Formula One
Russell's first experience of driving a Formula One car came in October 2015; as a prize for winning the 2014
He was appointed one of Mercedes' reserve drivers for the 2018 season and again tested for the team at the in-season Hungaroring test,[51][52] as well as performing a Pirelli tyre test for Force India after the Spanish Grand Prix in May, completing 123 laps.[53][54]
Williams (2019–2021)
2019: Rookie season
In October 2018 it was announced that Russell had signed a multi-year deal to drive for Williams,[55] partnering Robert Kubica for the 2019 season.[56] His first appearance for Williams was at the 2018 post-season test at Yas Marina Circuit, driving the FW41.[57] The team's 2019 car, the FW42, was the slowest car of the field;[58] in most races Kubica was Russell's only on-track competition. Round six, the Monaco Grand Prix, was the first race in which Russell finished ahead of drivers from other teams; namely both Alfa Romeos and Lance Stroll. At the rain-affected German Grand Prix, Russell finished 13th but was promoted to 11th after the Alfa Romeo drivers received penalties.[59] He had narrowly missed out on scoring his maiden Formula One point, having been overtaken by Kubica in the closing laps.[60]
Russell's first retirement came at the Singapore Grand Prix when Romain Grosjean made contact with him during an overtake attempt, sending Russell into a wall.[61] He retired again at the Russian Grand Prix with a wheel nut issue.[62] The Brazilian Grand Prix provided one of the few opportunities of Russell's debut season to race other cars, where a late safety car allowed him to finish 12th, just 1.5 seconds behind a points-scoring position.[63] Russell ended the season 20th in the drivers' championship. He was the only driver not to score a point,[64] however he qualified ahead of Kubica at all twenty-one races.[65] Russell retained his relationship with Mercedes during the season and drove the team's F1 W10 EQ Power+ in two test sessions.[66]
2020: First F1 career points
Russell continued driving for Williams in 2020, partnered by former Formula 2 competitor Nicholas Latifi.[67] He retired from the season-opening Austrian Grand Prix from a loss of fuel pressure.[68] He started the Styrian Grand Prix in 11th place after a wet qualifying session, beating his previous best grid position.[69] He ran wide into the gravel in the early laps and ultimately finished 16th,[70] both Williams drivers struggling for race pace.[71] He was demoted to the back of the grid at the British Grand Prix for failing to slow for yellow flags in qualifying but recovered to 12th place in the race.
He was eliminated from the Belgian Grand Prix after a stray wheel from Antonio Giovinazzi's crashed car hit his Williams.[72] At the Tuscan Grand Prix, Russell started 18th but ran in the points positions for most of the race aided by multiple retirements from other drivers. He was in ninth place before the second red flag period but experienced a poor restart and eventually finished 11th, less than three seconds behind 10th place.[73] At the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, Russell crashed out from 10th place while following the safety car, an incident he described as the "biggest mistake of [his] career".[74]

Russell was released by Williams to deputise for
- Return to Williams
Russell performed media duties for Mercedes at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, but returned to Williams in time for practice when Hamilton was declared fit to compete.[86] Following Friday practice, Russell said that returning to Williams was a "strange feeling", having competed in the faster Mercedes the week before.[87] For the event, he wore a special helmet as a tribute to Williams co-founder Frank Williams and former deputy team principal Claire Williams,[88] both of whom had left the team and Formula One earlier in the season.[89] Russell qualified 18th and finished the race 15th.[90][91] He ended the season 18th in the championship with 3 points, all from his one race with Mercedes; the Williams team scored no points in 2020.
2021: Maiden F1 podium
Russell was retained by Williams for the 2021 season alongside Nicholas Latifi.[92] At the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, he collided with Valtteri Bottas after driving on to a wet patch and losing control of his car during an overtaking attempt, causing both cars to retire and prompting a red flag.[93] Russell initially blamed the incident on Bottas, accusing him of "trying to kill [them] both",[94] but later retracted his claims and apologised to Bottas and his own Williams team.[95]
He ran in 15th place prior to the red flag at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, but failed to make the restart due to gearbox issues.[96] He finished 12th at the French Grand Prix, ahead of eight other drivers,[97] later remarking that this was the "best race [he had] ever had together with Williams".[98] He qualified 11th at the Styrian Grand Prix, missing out on the third qualifying session (Q3) by eight milliseconds. He was promoted to 10th place after Yuki Tsunoda received a grid penalty, his best grid position for Williams.[99] During the race, Russell gained two positions in the opening laps but later entered the pits multiple times as his team attempted to resolve a reliability issue. He eventually retired from the race.[100] Russell reached Q3 for the first time in a Williams car at the Austrian Grand Prix and started the race eighth, the team's highest grid position since 2017.[101][102] He finished the race 11th, having been passed by Fernando Alonso in the closing laps.[103] Russell reached Q3 again at the British Grand Prix, but was issued with a grid penalty for colliding with Carlos Sainz Jr. in the sprint qualifying session. He finished the race 12th. At the Hungarian Grand Prix, Russell came from 17th on the grid to finish a career-best eighth (after Sebastian Vettel's disqualification), earning his first points for Williams.
In the rain-affected Belgian Grand Prix qualifying session, Russell qualified in second place behind Max Verstappen. This marked the first front-row start for Williams since the 2017 Italian Grand Prix.[104] The race was delayed by wet weather and ultimately only two laps were completed, both under safety car conditions. This allowed Russell to maintain his grid position and claim his first Formula One podium finish.[105] At the Italian Grand Prix, Russell finished ninth, scoring an additional two points. At the Russian Grand Prix, Russell qualified in third in mixed conditions, before finishing the race in tenth.[106] This would be his final points finish of the year. Russell's season ended with two retirements; he was eliminated from the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix after a collision with Nikita Mazepin and suffered gearbox issues at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. He placed 15th in the drivers' championship, scoring 16 points to teammate Latifi's 7. He also continued his testing role with Mercedes during 2021, completing a Pirelli tyre test in the team's F1 W12 E Performance at the Hungaroring in August.[107]

Mercedes (2022–)
2022: Maiden pole position and win
Russell joined Mercedes in 2022, replacing Valtteri Bottas and joining seven-time World Drivers' Champion Lewis Hamilton.[108] He chose to change his red helmet design to a predominantly black design out of respect for Michael Schumacher.[109] In his first race as a full-time Mercedes driver, the Bahrain Grand Prix, he qualified ninth and finished fourth.[110] He took his first Mercedes podium at the Australian Grand Prix, benefiting from a pit stop during a safety car period to start sixth and finish third.[111] He failed to reach Q3 at both the Emilia Romagna and Miami Grands Prix but recovered to finish the races fourth and fifth respectively. More podiums came at the Spanish Grand Prix, which he led for four laps, and the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, where he benefited from the retirements of both Ferraris to finish third.
Russell was involved in a first-lap crash at the British Grand Prix involving several drivers. He jumped out of his car to check on Zhou Guanyu, whose car had flipped over the tyre barrier and was resting upside-down against the catch fence. Russell's intention was to rejoin the race, however this was forbidden as his car had been brought back to the pits by the marshals and not under its own power.[112][113] He crashed in qualifying at the Austrian Grand Prix and then collided with Sergio Pérez on the opening lap, receiving front wing damage and a time penalty, demoting him to the back. He recovered to finish fourth. He passed Pérez in the closing laps of the French Grand Prix to claim his fourth podium of the season. At the Hungarian Grand Prix, Russell took his maiden pole position in Formula One, 0.044 seconds ahead of Ferrari's Carlos Sainz Jr.[114] He led much of the race but was later overtaken by Max Verstappen and teammate Hamilton, finishing third. Further podiums came at the Dutch and Italian Grands Prix, putting him 16 points adrift of second place in the drivers' championship.
Russell started the Singapore Grand Prix from the back of the grid due to engine component penalties. He made a pit stop for slick tyres before the track was dry, losing time and eventually finishing outside the points. He collided with pole-sitter Sainz at the first corner of the United States Grand Prix, receiving a time penalty and causing Sainz's retirement. He later apologised to Sainz and described the race as his "worst Sunday" of the year despite finishing fifth.[115] He qualified in third position for the São Paulo Grand Prix and passed Verstappen and Kevin Magnussen to win the sprint.[116] He held the lead during the race to finish ahead of Hamilton and claim his first Grand Prix victory and Mercedes' first of the season.[117] Russell ended the season fourth in the drivers' championship, scoring 275 points to Hamilton's 240.
2023

Russell remained at Mercedes alongside Hamilton for 2023. He finished seventh at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix, after which he stated the team were "a long way behind" and that he expected rivals Red Bull Racing "should win every single race this season".[118][119] An improved showing at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix saw him qualify and finish fourth. He was provisionally promoted to the podium when Fernando Alonso received a penalty, which Russell nevertheless described as "too extreme".[120] Alonso's penalty was later rescinded and Russell was ultimately classified fourth. He qualified second at the Australian Grand Prix and took the lead from Max Verstappen at the race start. He made a pit stop during a safety car period, however the race was then red-flagged, leaving him seventh at the restart. He improved to fourth place but was forced to retire with an engine failure.[121] At the Spanish Grand Prix, Russell collided with teammate Hamilton in Q2 and qualified 12th, both drivers blaming a miscommunication.[122] In the race, Russell recovered to finish third behind Hamilton to achieve a double podium finish for Mercedes.[123]
Russell qualified fourth at the Canadian Grand Prix,[124] but hit the wall on lap 12 and suffered a puncture and a broken front wing, re-joining the race in 19th place. He had recovered to eighth when he retired due to brake wear.[125] He qualified outside the top ten for both the sprint and main race at the Austrian Grand Prix, having reported a hydraulics failure in the sprint shootout. He gained places to score points in both races. Traffic in qualifying at the Hungarian Grand Prix meant that Russell started only 18th. He gained twelve places in the race to finish sixth. He qualified third at the Dutch Grand Prix, but his late switch to intermediate tyres as rain began to fall dropped him to the back. He later recovered to the top ten and was in eighth place at the restart after a red flag, but damage from contact with Lando Norris demoted him back outside the points.[126] He missed out on pole position by 0.072 seconds at the Singapore Grand Prix and was gaining on the leaders in the closing stages of the race, but crashed out from third place on the final lap.[127][128] The lost podium left him 33 points adrift of race winner and fifth in the championship Carlos Sainz Jr.
Russell was the only driver to make one pit stop at the Japanese Grand Prix; he dropped from third place to seventh on his final stint. After the race, he stated that his goal for the remainder of the season was to help Mercedes finish second in the Constructors' Championship, and that his Drivers' Championship campaign had been "a complete disaster".[129] He qualified second at the Qatar Grand Prix and was involved in a collision with teammate Hamilton at the first corner, for which Hamilton claimed responsibility.[130] Russell was later passed by both McLarens and went on to finish fourth. He scored points at the São Paulo Grand Prix sprint, finishing fourth, but was running outside the points in the main race before retiring with overheating issues. He was demoted from fourth to eighth at the Las Vegas Grand Prix finish line with a penalty for colliding with Max Verstappen. This result guaranteed an eighth-place finish in the World Drivers' Championship, the lowest for a Mercedes driver since 2012. He qualified fourth and finished third at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, his second podium of the season, and a result that clinched second place in the Constructors' Championship for Mercedes.
Russell ended the season eighth in the championship scoring 175 points to Hamilton's 234. He commented that he had "let the side down a couple of times this year", but that it meant "a huge amount" to contribute to Mercedes's Constructors' Championship position.[131] His contract to race with Mercedes has been extended until the end of 2025.[132]
2024
Russell qualified third at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix and finished fifth. He crashed out from seventh place on the final lap of the Australian Grand Prix whilst closely following Fernando Alonso, who was later penalised for "potentially dangerous driving".[133]
Other activities
In March 2021, Russell was appointed as a director of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association, replacing previous incumbent Romain Grosjean,[134] who stepped down following his departure from Formula One to IndyCar.[135]
In March 2022, Russell agreed for his name to be used in the inaugural GB4 Championship, with the George Russell Pole Position Cup being awarded to the driver taking the most pole positions during the season. Russell had previously won the Jack Cavill Pole Position Cup during his title-winning campaign in BRDC Formula 4 in 2014.[136]
