The Driver
George has lived and breathed motorsport from his very earliest years. With an older brother who was a national karting champion in his own right, the racetrack has always been his natural home. Now a victor of multiple Grands Prix, he remains one of the most exciting talents in the sport.

Shanghai Ink & Porcelain
A porcelain-inspired one-off for Shanghai: blue-and-white brushwork, gold linework and a hand-drawn Chinese character 63 on the temple.
Full helmet archive ↗Off Track
Away from the paddock: campaigns, partnerships, training blocks and the everyday things that don't make the broadcast.
AMAFFI
George is Global Brand Ambassador for AMAFFI, fronting a campaign shot by photographer Greg Williams across a five-fragrance signature collection, with boutiques in London, New York and Singapore.
"This partnership felt natural. AMAFFI's craftsmanship resonates with me — both pursue precision and emotion equally."— George Russell
IWC — Signature in Time
Two limited-edition Pilot's Watches carry his name: the Pilot's Watch Automatic 41 in black ceramic with blue accents, and the Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 in black zirconium oxide ceramic, its titanium caseback engraved "63."
adidas CLIMACOOL System
A two-part cooling jacket and vest that doubles the temperature reduction of a single cooling vest, built for the pre-race window when cockpit temperatures hit 55–60°C. Trialled by rookie Kimi Antonelli first, then worn by both drivers during Bahrain pre-season testing.
"When I first tried the adidas CLIMACOOL System I knew it would be something I'd want to include in my race day package."— George Russell
Police x George Russell
A limited "Origins" run of Panthos-front sunglasses in two colourways, racing numbers 6 and 3 worked into the frame, his name engraved on the lenses. Only 63 pairs of each, launched at the Monza Grand Prix weekend.
Watches & Wonders 2026
His first Watches & Wonders — IWC hosted George alongside fellow ambassador Eileen Gu at a space-station-themed booth marking 90 years of the Pilot's Watch, both exploring the Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar ProSet.
"This piece masterfully combines the characteristic, highly legible instrument design of a Pilot's Watch with emotional storytelling."— George Russell
Mercedes-AMG ONE
@MercedesAMG ONE!! So honoured to own this car and it's been a dream of mine ever since I joined Mercedes F1 back in 2017!! Crazy that the engine is a modified version from our 2015 F1 car — the first ever Mercedes F1 car I drove ⚡️ What a beast!!! 🚀🩵
"MY DREAM CAR!!! 🩵"— @georgerussell63 · Instagram
The George Russell Collection
The Vintage Find collection and the wider GR63 range, from the official Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS team store.
The Drive
The strongest I've ever been
Away from the circuit the work is quieter — training blocks, recovery, the discipline that doesn't make the broadcast but decides how a season actually goes.
"I feel in a really strong place; mentally, I feel the strongest I've ever been."— George Russell
Silverstone, the favourite
No round on the calendar means more to George than his home race. The crowd, the history, the noise through Copse — it's the one weekend a year that feels different from inside the car.
"There is a special atmosphere at Silverstone that is different to a number of the other grands prix. It has the best crowds of the year and the fans are incredibly passionate."— George Russell
