In a shocking turn of events, Williams driver George Russell has somehow worked his way into a Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 seat for the 2022 season, filling the empty space being left by Valterri Bottas, who is heading to Alfa Romeo next year.

In what has perhaps been the most well-kept secret in the racing world, the 23-year old British driver, who has had a best finish of second in the controversial 2021 Belgian Grand Prix, will join seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton at the most dominant team of the V-6 hybrid era.
