George Russell’s ‘Love at first sight’ with the Mercedes Car

Russell is a part of the Mercedes family since the 2017 season. No doubt that he is a huge Mercedes fan as well as he drives their cars on the streets too.

The Briton owns the German brand’s three high-end cars. One of them is a staggering selenite Grey Mercedes AMG GT S Coupe. It packs a   4.0 liter, twin-turbocharged V8 engine with a speed of over 300 km/h.

The Mercedes driver shared a picture with this car back in March 2020 with the caption ‘love at first sight.’ A year later, he posted another picture of the $120,000 machine with the caption ‘Love my little rocket!’

Russell also owns a Mercedes two AMG C63. The blue-colored one is the regular model and the other white-colored one is a dashing Mercedes AMG C63 S.

These German-manufactured cars cost a whopping $80,000 and Russell takes good care of them by cleaning the cars on his own. The Mercedes love does not stop there.

While Russell drove for Williams, he got the opportunity to drive a Mercedes AMG-GT R around the iconic Nurburgring circuit. This coupe sports car starts at $157,000 and is one of the elites in the track domination department.
