I'm so glad F1 is starting to pick up popularity in the United States; it's lonely being an F1 fan here right now. Hopefully it will inspire a new generation of drivers too; there haven't been many Americans on the grid over the years.

[@GT1Zero]

I could’ve been an American in F1 but my parents didn’t support my dreams.

[@tylergregory7280]

As a southerner all anyone talks about when I mention F1 is NASCAR….

[@usernamenotwrittenoutoflaz9865]

McLaren have actually signed a 13 year old American prodigy that seems to have a lot of potential to become a good F1 driver. I also think that Merc was interested in signing him to their academy. His name is Ugo Ugochukwu look him up

It is impossible to be unimpressed with George Russell. His brilliance, skill, leadership potential, past history, and rock steady performance in all areas are really above anything we've seen in the recent past.

[@alpal3098]

He really brought me back into formula 1, there are other amazing drivers in low performing cars, but the negative attitudes of grosjean and magnussen in the haas in 2019 and 20 for example show that it takes real humility and resilience to keep a positive determined attitude like George has done. (Btw I love grosjean and magnussen and perhaps it was a team attitude that caused them to appear frustrated but even so) I think even to view Hamilton in 2012, he became so mentally dominated by his reliability issues.

[@Drummercommander]

Mr.Saturday refers to Russell outperforming his Williams car during a single hotlap, even though the car was too slow to maintain race pace. I guess Russell doesn't want to sound too negative about his former team, which suits him!

[@chiefdenis]

Lol, you can't outperform a car, you'll just crash like max at jeddah or cook your brakes or tires like Max at bahrain. Getting every bit of performance out of a car is a delicate act, but you can't take out what it doesn't have

It's pretty cool to see George Russell on here. As an American, I've been a fan of Formula 1 since I was a kid. I was always into motorsports but Formula 1 just clicked with me. I know that some people became fans because of Formula 1 Drive To Survive but I already knew about Formula 1. I hope we see another F1 driver doing this. One driver I can think of is Daniel Ricciardo. He's a real class act that guy.

I discovered George at his error in Romagna GP behind the safety car, his reaction touched me and I began to follow him since.

[@JaKosanovic]

what happened?

[@alpal3098]

Absolutely Vincent, I think this and his reaction to Sakhir really showed what he is made of. To think his possible maiden win was lost by the team he aspired to be at and not by his own error, must have been very tough, but he’s getting his chance now at driving near the top.
