How George Russell Got to the Top

George Russell is one of Formula One’s hottest young talents, now in his third season at Mercedes alongside Lewis Hamilton.
In the third episode in our ‘A Moment in Time’ series of Performance People with the Inside Tack podcast, George reflects on the key stepping stones that took him from karting as a kid with his brother to his current seat at the top of his sport.
His phenomenal record in Formula Two put him in the shop window but it took an impromptu email to change his career path, confirming that even at this level, timing is everything.
He describes the emotion of his first F1 race win in Brazil and what surprised him most about that moment, and shares some of the key performance lessons he’s learned along the way including his personal antidote to pressure and nerves.
Georgie Ainslie’s podcast Performance People sees the sports broadcaster and ainslie + ainslie founder chat to high performing people in sport on how they got to the top and the journey they have been on to get there. Episodes every Tuesday.

Love George's mindset. It's a pleasure to watch his growth and evolving to a mature adult. Mercedes is lucky to have him.

George gives off this ‘preppy’ vibe in my opinion, what with his apparel and demeanor. This interview really shows George’s character and that he’s really an awesome guy. Massive thanks to giving us the opportunity to know George a little more. Always good to hear the BTS of drivers lives

A man of class, eloquent and good looking with a very down to earth demeanour…no tattoos, piercings or diva attitude. I’m a huge fan.

Let's go GR! This is just the beginning.

Still got less points than Lewis Hamilton this year😊

[@napalmhotdog4365]

He’s had DNFs that weren’t his fault, and a DSQ that wasn’t his fault. All in races where he could have one, of actually did win (spa) he’s been consistently better all year

Why are there always such shady people like you in the comments? I mean, what is the purpose of hateful comments like yours? What do you get from this?
