“Hey, that’s my butt”? So George Russell commented on the silhouettes that act as 1: 1 scale models created to simulate the overall dimensions in the design phase of a single-seater. The driver expected to make his Mercedes debut in 2022 after Sakhir’s starter in 2020 visited the Brackley and Brixworth offices and the German team documented the former Williams’ tour on their social channels. Russell stated that this tour “Opened his eyes” everything revolves around the design of an F1 single-seater. After three years at the wheel of the cars built by the Grove team now in the hands of the Dorilton Capital investment fund in 2022, the British driver will finally have the opportunity to demonstrate all his worth as a standard-bearer for Mercedes.
Discovering the potential of the 1998 class at the wheel of a top car is one of the many themes of interest of a 2022 season ready to put a decidedly rich menu on the table and the Russell-Mercedes combination is one of the main courses. The pilot who grew up within the academy supervised by Toto Wolff will train together with Lewis Hamilton an all Anglo-Saxon couple that encompasses the past, present and future of Great Britain in F1 without forgetting Lando Norris in McLaren and the ‘twin’ of Russell Alexander Albon who will return to be the protagonist in the Circus right behind the wheel of Williams, picking up the baton of George.

“I am very honored to be here – Russell’s words to all Mercedes employees – thanks for the warm welcome. When you limit yourself to attending the circuits where you only see the ‘finished product’, you cannot realize how much work and how many people contribute to the creation of a single-seater. It is truly incredible ”.
