Mercedes driver George Russell took part in a game hosted by ESPN in which he answered a set of questions. Russell has been in fine form for the Silver Arrows throughout the Las Vegas GP weekend leading up to qualifying.
George Russell starts in pole position for only the second time this year after charting the fastest lap times on Friday. Russell was on a rough spell leading up to the Las Vegas GP for the better part of this season.
Russell was asked about his celebrity look-alike during the interview with ESPN F1. He replied that popular Irish $20 Million worth actor Cillian Murphy, who is best known for his role in Peaky Blinders, was someone who shared similar facial features as him.
The 26-year-old has been tireless for the Brackley-based team since the start of the 2022 season. His aim will now solely be to claim the win at the Las Vegas GP from pole position.
