George Russell News

George Russell had a challenging start to the 2023 F1 season. The Brit finished seventh in Bahrain but had to retire in Australia due to an engine failure. In addition, his teammate scored a whopping 59 points more than Russell and secured the podium only twice. Can Russell turn the tide and achieve more podium finishes in 2024? Read the latest news about the British driver on RacingNews365.nl.

George Russell F1

After winning two CIK-FIA European Karting titles and the BRDC Formula 4 Championship, George Russell endured two relatively barren years racing in the FIA European Formula 3 Championship, finishing sixth and third. A move to the GP3 (now FIA Formula 3) Championship would prove more fruitful, as he won the title in his maiden year driving for ART Grand Prix. He clinched back-to-back titles in 2018, securing the FIA Formula 2 Championship in dominant fashion, once again with ART.

Having signed for the Mercedes Young Driver Programme in 2017, Russell's results would earn him a place in F1 with Williams Racing in 2019, where he lined up alongside race-winner Robert Kubica. Despite failing to score a single point over the entirety of the season, Russell outqualified his more experienced teammate in every single round of the championship.

In 2020, Russell was partnered by rookie Nicholas Latifi. Now the de-facto team leader, the Briton showed flashes of pace, entering Q2 on a number of occasions. His big break came at the Sakhir Grand Prix when he substituted at Mercedes for Lewis Hamilton, who had tested positive for COVID-19. Despite leading for much of the race, a botched pit-stop and puncture would see Russell finish ninth.

George Russell Mercedes

After a third season with Williams in 2021 – during which he scored his first points for the team – Russell was announced as a Mercedes driver for 2022, partnering seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton.

It proved to be a difficult year for the Silver Arrows, with the team struggling to get on top of issues with their W13 car following the introduction of new technical regulations in the sport. Russell became one of the season's most consistent performers, though, and finished in the points at all but two races.

In 2023, Russell, along with Hamilton, will once again drive for Mercedes. Their goal was to make strides toward the top team, Red Bull, and compete for the world titles. However, it quickly became apparent that Red Bull was too dominant, turning it into a battle for the second position with Ferrari. Mercedes emerged victorious in this battle. George Russell earned 175 points this season compared to his teammate's 234 points.

Will Mercedes be able to compete for the world title in 2024, and how many points can George Russell score for the team? On August 31, 2023, Mercedes announced that Russell will continue to compete for the British team in 2024 and 2025.

George Russell's first F1 victory

The Briton's debut F1 victory came at the Brazilian Grand Prix, where he led home Hamilton in a 1-2 finish for the team. He went on to finish the season P4 in the World Championship.

Russell will enter into his second season with Mercedes in 2023, again partnering with Hamilton as the squad target a return to the front of the pack.

In August 2023, Russell renewed his contract with Mercedes. He will also compete in 2024 and 2025 for the German team.
