Having driven for Williams for three years and eagerly waiting for the call up to Mercedes, George Russell finally got his shot for the 2022 season to be partnered alongside Lewis Hamilton. Since then it has been a rollercoaster of a season for the young British driver as he managed to compete at the top while also subsequently battling with his teammate.

Lewis Hamilton and George Russell have put forth an incredible performance with the machinery that they have had this year. The 2022 Mercedes challenger seemed to have taken a step back when it came to performance compared to rivals Red Bull and Ferrari. Their results made it clear that they were the third best car on the grid which was a bittersweet thing to swallow. Although this hasn’t stopped George from consistently scoring top 5 finishes in every race that he has finished this season.
