George Russell: Toilet meetings and his ...

30-40 / Acast
About this episode

George Russell (aka Curious George as he like to call himself on the podcast) is back for a catch-up with Betty and Christian during the early break in the season.

He fills us in on everything he's been up to during his down time including meeting Novak Djokovic and checking in with the rest of the Mercedes team to plot out their return to racing in Baku.


There's also some listener questions that give us an insight into George's singing ability and having meals cooked by Alex Albon's mum. Plus, anyone who listened to our recent episode with Oscar Piastri will know the Australian rookie had tee'd up a pretty good story about how Oscar and George first met. We can promise you it doesn't disappoint.
