E163: George Russell - From penpal to podium: how one email changed my life

George Russell is a British racing driver, currently competing in Formula 1 for Mercedes. In this conversation, George reveals why he gave up formal education at 14 to pursue racing; he shares how he first made contact with Toto Wolff and he speaks about the dangerous crash he was in and the impact it has had on him.


An advocate of surrounding yourself with positivity, making hard choices and creating opportunities, there is a lot to learn from George’s attitude which can be taken into all areas of life.
