George Russell and his girlfriend began dating in 2020 after a mutual friend introduced them to each other, with this past February marking the couple having spent five years together. The Spaniard had shared a black-and-white image for the couple's anniversary, adding the heartwarming caption:

"Five years with the most wonderful person I could ever ask for 🖤 forever proud of who you are and what you do."

Russell has been with his partner since his second season in F1, when he drove for the Williams team. He scored a single podium in his final year with the team, which helped him secure a 15th-place finish in the drivers' standings at the end of the 2021 season.

Then, George Russell joined the Mercedes outfit and has since scored three career wins, along with 17 total podium finishes. At the end of 2022, in his first season with the Brackley-based organization, he finished in fourth place in the standings, which has been his highest-ever finish in the championship standings.

In 2025, only five races in, Russell once again sits in fourth place, 26 points behind the current championship leader, Oscar Piastri.

His lowest finishes this season came last weekend at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and earlier in Japan, when he crossed the line to take fifth place at both tracks.

The upcoming Miami Grand Prix will take place from May 2nd to May 4th.
