The first day is never forgotten. It happened at school, of course it also happens at work. Imagine, then, if the place occupied represents the dream of a lifetime: in the case of George Russell it is the Mercedes steering wheel as a titular driver. Today the former Williams started getting serious with him shakedown of Silverstone following the presentation of the W13. It was not the ideal start for Russell – the day was windy and rainy – but the 1998 class did not hide his emotions while driving, both because he managed to give the very first findings on the new car, and because he was able to take advantage of the advice of an exceptional teacher, Lewis Hamiltonwho wanted to attend the ‘premiere’ of the new teammate.
“This morning I came there goose bumps when the machine was first turned on. I have done many laps on the simulator, I have seen many projects and I have attended many meetings, but nothing is like going to the track. These conditions brought me back to my roots: cold, wet and windy day, but with the Mercedes team“, These are the words of # 63 to journalists. “It certainly wasn’t easy today, given the weather, but everything went in line with the feedback received from the simulator. Today we will look at the data, it will be a constant learning process. I think we will take the day in a flexible way, the conditions were difficult. But it was important to carry on with the program and make sure that the car went well, so that we could go to Montmeló in the best possible way.“.
