George Russell
After several years of partnership between Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton, George Russell is all set to take the seat of the Finn driver in the hopes of providing an environmental change after the robbery in Abu Dhabi. However, with the build-up to the next season having already started and the season all set to start from mid-March, the Brackley-based team has given a sneak peek of George Russell’s new livery.
To those who are not aware, this year, Formula 1 will introduce its new regulations with teams exploring new aerodynamic concepts as well as cars yielding 18-inch tyres. Moreover, all the teams had to contend with a smaller budget cap of $140Million in 2022 too, which could lead to huge limitations for teams for aerodynamic testing and financial concern.

George Russell steps up from Mercedes and will partner Hamilton next season in his first full season alongside the Silver Arrows. After trying out the new 18-inch tyres at the end of the season, Russell says the simulator suggested there won’t be many changes for him as a driver next season.
“I’ve driven a version in the simulator so far, not the 2022 car,” he said as quoted by Express.co.uk. “A version of which we assume roughly where it’s going to go.
The young Brit, George Russell added, “It’s just going to be another racing car. It’ll be different, but it’s the same transition as from Formula 4 to Formula 3, from Formula 3 to Formula 2, and then to Formula 1. As a driver, you learn to adapt.
“You will get used to it. Like on a racing weekend, when it’s sometimes warmer, sometimes windier.”
