George Russell fitted for Mercedes car after ‘tight squeeze’

02/15/2022

Russell finished ninth as he adjusted to the Mercedes, which proved to be an uncomfortable fit as the team were unable to alter Hamilton’s cock-pit in time.

“It definitely was a tight squeeze. Also my size 11 feet were a struggle so I’m having to wear a slightly smaller shoe than is ideal,” Russell said after the Grand Prix weekend.

“So that’s slightly uncomfortable but I’m sure I can endure the pain to get this opportunity.”

There were no issues this time around, however, as Mercedes confirmed ahead of the W13 launch: “W13 seat fit. Complete.”

Russell will get his first shot at the W13 at F1’s first round of pre-season testing in Barcelona on February 23.
