At the Sakhir Grand Prix 2020, George replaced Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes for one race. He put in an incredible performance qualifying P2. He was at the front of the pack for the entirety of the race. A slow puncture near the end of the race cruelly denied him a maiden victory twice. He finished 9th in the points earning 3 points in the race.
Russell continued several strong shows in the 2021 season and managed a career-best second position in qualifying during a rain-affected Belgian GP.
The race didn’t relent on race day and Russell finished on the podium in second place at the 2021 Belgian GP. However, he was handed only half points since the race only ran for two laps.
Further, Russell was confirmed as a Mercedes driver for the 2022 season as he replaced Valtteri Bottas as Lewis Hamilton’s teammate.
He won his first F1 race at the Brazilian GP.
