George Russell spent time with tennis legends like Roger Federer, Andy Murray, and Bjorn Borg at the Laver Cup in London.
The entire sporting world came together to witness Federer’s last competitive tennis match earlier this week at the laver Cup. He teamed up with long-time rival and friend Rafael Nadal, in a losing effort against Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe.
Federer brought an end to his 24-year-long playing career this year. It was a sad moment for tennis and sports fans alike, as he’s arguably one of the most influential athletes of all time. Federer leaves tennis as a 20-time Grand Slam Champion.
An honor and a real pleasure @rogerfederer 🙌🏻 https://t.co/HMVnl1Iu9b

George Russell congratulates Roger Federer on incredible career
Russell joined Mercedes this year after spending the first three years of his F1 career with Williams. With the latter, he couldn’t really prove his worth because the car was mainly fighting at the back of the grid. In spite of that, he showed everyone how consistent and good he is. This landed him a Mercedes seat for the 2022 season.
Unfortunately for him, Mercedes don’t have a car as strong as they had for the last eight years. They are not in a place to challenge for race wins anymore, but Russell has maximized the W13’s performance on several occasions to earn seven podium finishes.

His teammate in F1 is the legendary seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton. The two spend a lot of time together during races, but it seems Russell spends time with sporting legends away from the track as well!
On his social media accounts, he posted a picture of himself with Federer, Murray and Bjorg saying, “Great to catch up with Roger Federer after the final game of his incredible career. Not just one of the greatest athletes of all time but also one of the nicest guys you could ever meet too.”
