‘It’s a huge step… but the peak is miles away’. That’s how George
Russell sums up racing for Mercedes. Since George joined the
team’s young driver programme in 2017 he knew he could rise to
the seat of a Silver Arrow Formula 1 car. How did he get there,
and how high will he rise in the future? George tells Tom
Clarkson about emotive highs with his former team, Williams, a
bitter disappointment on his Mercedes debut in Sakhir and a
learning moment in Italy which helped shaped him into the driver
and the man he is today. Hear about the pressure George races
under at Mercedes, his relationships with his colleagues, his
view of his place in the sport, his principles and his ambitions
in this in-depth conversation.
