George Russell will race in Formula One next year with Williams and, alongside McLaren's 2019 driver Lando Norris, promises to be the next big British name in Formula One. We take a look at his story so far, including a diversion via Citroen 2CV racing and a career-defining decision between BMW and Mercedes.
Like most F1 hopefuls, Russell's racing career started out in go-karts at the age of eight. His older brother had competed in karting at a national level a decade earlier and the lessons learned by his father helped Russell immeasurably on the ultra-competitive first rung of the motorsport ladder.
