  • On this episode of Actually Me, F1 racer George Russell goes undercover on the Internet and replies to real comments from fans on Twitter, Instagram, Quora, Wikipedia, Reddit, CZcams and TikTok. How is he handling the pressure of joining a big team like Mercedes at such a young age? How much weight can he lift with the strength of his neck alone? Does he get thirsty behind the wheel?

    Looking forward to seeing him driving fast. Finger's crossed he has cleaned his chin in time for the British television showing of the Silverstone race this year, I want to say it was bad show last year but we all know that wasn't the case.
    If he scores more points than anyone else this year there's a good chance he'll be world champion, so keep an eye on the points everyone else is getting, that's the key.
