Wiki
He was the 2018 FIA Formula 2 Champion and 2017 GP3 Series champion for ART. Following his Formula 2 championship win, Russell signed for Williams in 2019, making his debut at the 2019 Australian Grand Prix, although he stood in for Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes at the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix. Russell secured his first F1 podium with Williams at the 2021 Belgian Grand Prix. He is also a part of Mercedes Young Driver Program. In 2022, Russell left Williams and joined Mercedes.
Family
Many would assume that George was the first person in the family to become interested in racing. However, his older brother, Benji, also competed in the karting championship.
While her sister Cara did not invest herself in motorsports, has been consistently supporting her younger brother as he competes in F1, regularly showing her support via social media.
Not much is known about Russell’s parents, Alison and Steve, but they have shown their support for their son, from his karting days until he found himself competing at the pinnacle of motorsport.

Dad
Steve Russell is the father of George Russell. Like his son George, he also holds British nationality.
Although his exact age is not known. But we assume he will be in his late 60s or early 50s depending on his looks and the age of the kids.
Steve has supported his sons with a passion for racing since they were young.
George started karting with his brother at the young age of 7. His brothers were also competing in karting at the national level.
Steve learns his lessons and improves for his younger son while guiding his older son, Benji. This helped her get her youngest child on the right track from the very beginning. We can see passionate fathers flourishing for the success of their sons.
As his youngest son grew up, watching his brother go karting naturally sparked his interest in karting as well. Benji has been a role model for George. His first helmet was also a hand down from that of his brother, Benji. We can say that both the sons of Steve share a strong brotherhood.
When he first heard his son George being admitted to Formula One, he had tears in his eyes. George fled the Sochi paddock of Williams’ motorhome to inform Steve and his wife. He was over the moon while his wife began to dance happily.
He has been waiting for his moment for the last twenty years to see his son join one of the international highest class auto racing.
