Russell writes an emotional message about Sir Frank

George Russell entered the Formula One grid back in 2019 with Williams. Sir Frank played a huge role in the British driver’s life. With the recent passing of Sir Frank, Russell talks about the influence he had on him and the Grove-based outfit.

He wrote, “Today, we say goodbye to the man who defined our team. Sir Frank was such a genuinely wonderful human being and I’ll always remember the laughs we shared. He was more than a boss, he was a mentor and a friend to everybody who joined the Williams Racing family and so many others.”

It has been a genuine honour racing for him and being a small part of the incredible legacy he leaves behind, a legacy that will forever live on in the heart and soul of this team. Rest in peace, Sir Frank. Thank you for everything.

“It has been a genuine honour racing for him and being a small part of the incredible legacy he leaves behind, a legacy that will forever live on in the heart and soul of this team. Rest in peace, Sir Frank. Thank you for everything,” Russell concluded.
George has just two races remaining with Williams this season before he joins Mercedes next season. Hence, the 23-year-old will do his best to make the Williams name proud in the Formula One grid.
