“I don't think any driver would be naive to think they could go up agai...” — George Russell Quote

“I don't think any driver would be naive to think they could go up against a seven-time world champion and have it easy. Because a guy like Lewis is who he is because of his speed and determination.”

“Mental health is something that needs to be spoken about openly for everybody, especially in men. It's something that people perceive as weakness but I think it's quite the opposite; if you are able to talk about it, it just shows your strength.”

“Wearing three layers of clothing and helmet, gloves and boots, with a radio plug-in, with a drink bottle in your mouth - it's quite claustrophobic.”

“Crossing the line and being world champion, I've always dreamt about it, and now I've done it. It's quite a surreal feeling, but obviously very special.”

“I'm glad Ralek Gracie and Metamoris have been so gung-ho about me competing for them and being their champion. I've liked the response I've been getting and to be able to go out and represent where I'm from in catch-as-catch-can. I go out there and I've beaten my opponents, but we're picking each other off the mats, smiling and shaking hands.”
