Russell’s ‘size 11 feet were a struggle’ in Hamilton’s car22-year-old ready to take chance at Sakhir Grand PrixGeorge Russell has described his chance to race for Mercedes as Lewis Hamilton’s replacement at the Sakhir
Grand Prix as an almost surreal end to an unbelievable year.
The 22-year-old will be at the wheel of the season’s dominant car in Bahrain on Sunday, having spent two seasons driving for Williams in the slowest ride on the grid. The scrutiny will be intense but Russell appears to be taking it in his stride, right down to having to squeeze into a smaller pair of race boots.
