“That’s such a George thing to do”: Fans post hilarious comments as Mercedes shares video of George Russell slaying it in his bowling shoes in Tokyo
George Russell
Whenever there is a respite from the usual busy racing schedule that requires them to travel all around the world, Formula 1 racers try their hands at various other sports which interest them. After a grueling two-week session with back-to-back Grands Prix in Singapore and Japan, the drivers have finally got a few off-days before they have to go about donning their team overalls for the United States Grand Prix in Texas, scheduled two weeks from now.
The Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team decided to hit up a bowling alley to let off some steam after the tumultuous Japanese Grand Prix. The weekend in Tokyo has not turned out to be exceptional for the team as George Russell could only come 8th after qualifying in the same position, while Lewis Hamilton improved his starting grid position by coming 5th, behind Esteban Ocon’s Alpine.
But they refused to let the results dim their spirits as they tried their hands at bowling, and gaped at George Russell absolutely slaying the game–all while wearing his special “bowling shoes”.
The Mercedes Twitter team quickly posted about the Briton’s bowling shoes, and fans made some hilarious comments on the video. Some of the followers even tweeted about how Russell is actually talented and he scored two strikes in a row!

In other news, George Russell is currently fourth in the Championship with four more races to go before this season ends. But the Briton is threatened by Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz, who is only 5 points short of Russell, at 202. Now, it remains to be seen if the Mercedes driver manages to stay in his position for the rest of this season, or if he loses his stand to the Spaniard.
