Records

George Russell's junior career stands out for its near-flawless progression. Winning the GP3 Series and the FIA Formula 2 Championship in consecutive rookie seasons places him among an elite group of drivers. His ability to win the Formula 2 title as a rookie, a feat achieved by only a handful of drivers, marked him as a future star. In Formula One, his first win in São Paulo was a historic moment for Mercedes, being the first British driver to win for the team in over sixty years. His consistent performances against a seven-time world champion teammate have further solidified his reputation.

AwardsGeorge Russell has won several championships in junior categories, including the BRDC Formula 4 Championship (2014), the GP3 Series (2017), and the FIA Formula 2 Championship (2018). In Formula One, he has not yet won a drivers' championship but has multiple Grand Prix victories.
