Daniel Ricciardo and George Russell are equally humble

Daniel is arguably the most humble soul on the grid. He has zero spark of arrogance within him and can always comfort you in any situation. George Russell is almost a mirror reflection of the Aussie.

The driver from Williams is yet to score his first championship points. However, he is way ahead of many in terms of humility and compassion.

Back at Imola, when Russell rammed his car into the sidewall, he was dejected and broken. He knew he had led his team down and again failed in scoring his first points.

He could have secluded himself, but he chose otherwise. He posted an apology to the entire team for the blunder.

This brave step from Russell got a lot of support from the Mercedes camp. Both Lewis Hamilton and Toto Wolff praised him for his humility. Lewis consoled him, saying that it is okay to make mistakes so early in his career.

Daniel Ricciardo and George Russell have an age gap of almost 10 years. However, the gentle behavior of both strikes an unusual similarity between them. George Russell has a lot to learn yet, but he is optimistic about his Turkish Grand Prix.
