Russell has been stuck in a Williams, the slowest car on the grid, for two years now, and have never been out-qualified by a teammate. Lewis Hamilton haven't missed a race since 2007. Russell won the golden ticket, to drive a Mercedes, and proved himself worthy. I watched him win F2 back in 2018, but to finally see what he could do in a competitive car in F1 was amazing. I just hope we'll get to see him get a shot at Lewis Hamilton before he retires.

That's Lewis Hamilton, a 1-time world champion, with a young George Russell in the background hunting for an autograph.
