Russell: “I’ve dreamed of this moment many times”

by

THE George Russell he could not hide his joy for her his victory at the Brazilian Grand Prixthe first of his career at Formula 1.

It’s so many feelings, I’ve dreamed about this moment so many times and you never know what it’s really going to be like. I think I handled the race well and everything was under control. I knew how fast Lewis was and when the safety car came on (less than 20 laps to go) I said to myself “it’s going to be very, very difficult now”. But we put together a great set, we made very few mistakes and the pressure Lewis put on me was huge, but I’m so proud of the whole team. The progress we have made since the start of the year is incredible and will give us a huge boost for next season“, emphasized the British Mercedes pilot and added:

To be honest, I was impressed by how quickly I started crying when I crossed the line. I only thought about my family. I have my mother at home with my girlfriend. I have my sister with her husband, my brother with my father and his two children. So all of my closest family members were a little bit… scattered, but I know they were all watching together, and as soon as I got my phone right after the game, I called everyone, via Group FaceTime. Formula 1 is not a simple life, we all live our dream, but our emotions vary a lot depending on the performance. We come back from a weekend very happy and things are going well, but the next you can be very disappointed».
