Formula 1: George Russell Reflects On 'special' Brazil GP On Second Anniversary Of First Win
George Russell: Two years on from that career-changing day in Sao Paulo, when the Brit won his first ever Formula One race, George Russell reflected on how 17 years of hard work and dedication culminated at Interlagos, and why November 13, 2022 laid the foundations for a new chapter in his career.
“It was such a special day, crossing the line in first position having dreamt of that moment ever since I was a kid, especially after a tough season. There was so much effort that had gone into turning that season around, so it was good to get a real sense of belief back into everyone," Russell told the Mercedes media team.
Win number one for George was a particularly significant one for the team, as he became the first driver to win a Grand Prix for Mercedes having come through our team Junior Programme. “Having been with the team since my junior days and travelled around all those races as a reserve driver – being able to achieve victory for everybody who had contributed was really special," he added.
