Not obvious at all, many guys, including myself, think of absolutely nothing a lot of the time.

My mom happens to be the biggest George Russell fangirl that I know. He speaks eloquently, is polite, and practical. His essentials truly adapted with his nomadic life-style as a Formula One driver. Now I see why she is supportive of him, he's just overall a decent guy. I sincerely hope he has a great season, for his and my mom's sake. 😆

[@sheawa]

@mardigmasrian5857monster no longer sponsors Mercedes. They’ve switched to McLaren

[@IB-12]

@mardigmasrian5857 At least get your facts right, they're sponsoring McLaren, not Mercedes

[@nathansolo2605]

I really hate Mercedes drivers. There's an arrogance about how they drive on the roads compared to other drivers. Hence why I dont support Hamilton or Russell. To give Russell the kudos, I thought he was brilliant at Williams, George put in so much effort to get his Mercedes drive. He was an example to other young sports people about pushing even when your not in the position you want to be. But... he's a Mercedes driver.

[@sunshine8704]

I hope he succeeds

I love how L'Oreal paid for that spot but Head & Shoulders didn't.

[@kerepekkentang]

head and shoulder was smart to realize that the real ones would know only by the container

[@7BD273]

Like that he chose items and products he actually uses, instead of this being a sole product placement.Even the shirt and the sunnies you know he genuinely uses all the time And his self-care essentials are the most normal brands

[@DionisFerizi]

you literally named 2 products that are sponsors Tommy and Police

[@7BD273]

​@@DionisFerizi that's exactly why I named those two items, because those two ARE sponsors of Mercedes, but you know he's actually using them. and they're very George

George Russell the type of guy to use tommy and police even with lout being sponsored

[@astroandyborgloh]

I am disappointed. I expected a powerpoint presentation ;-)

[@shelli.]

Love how clearly he explains things. Hoping for a great season GR63!!

[@valle1973]

What a lovely guy. He seems very real, maybe a bit awkward but in the nicest way. I would also talk about the kilo of sweat on my racing suit instead of mentioning how cool my life actually is. Priorities

not awkward at all lol

I really like how George speaks, it kinda sounds prim and proper but still somewhat relatable 😅 The way he enunciates is also helpful for non English speaking people.

Finally a guy who doesn’t show all his sponsors. Legitimately what he can’t live without… George the most genuine guy in the new generation.

bruh just did a tommy hilfiger add with his white shirt🗿

He is just such a great person, i remember when he backed Alex Albon when things were going really bad at Red bull.

Nice insight George's F1 world.

@@ruohonleikkaaja you would see the pillow when you take the pillowcase off to wash it
