George Russell: happier, hungrier + holding his own with Hamilton
George Russell\u2019s first two seasons at Mercedes have certainly had their ups and downs. He\u2019s become a Grand Prix winner and enjoyed a few bottles of champagne on the podium in that time, but the team are far away from fighting for World Championships.\n
\nGeorge says he can see a \u2018light at the end of the tunnel,\u2019 though. He\u2019s proven his worth to the eight-time Constructor Champions and is fully confident he\u2019ll be ready to capitalise when their car becomes competitive again.\n
\nSpeaking to Tom Clarkson, George says he\u2019s in a much happier place now, after embracing a new attitude towards Formula 1 over the summer break.\n
\nGeorge also talks about taking up freediving in his spare time, how invested his family are in his F1 career, why teammate Lewis Hamilton has pushed him to new levels, and much more.\n
