George Russell Picks This Eminem Rap to Describe His F1 Career

George Russell had a rollercoaster season last year. He regularly catapulted Williams Racing into Q2 and came tantalizingly close to scoring his first points with Williams at Imola. However, his night of the year came during Sakhir Grand Prix, where he replaced Hamilton in Mercedes for a weekend.

The champion had to sit out because of the coronavirus. Thus, Russell had the opportunity of a lifetime to drive the best car on the grid and prove his skills as a driver. In a recent interview, picked up a song that he believes sums up his Formula 1 career.

“Eminem – Lose Yourself,” he chose.

“In this sport every opportunity could be your last or the one which makes your career. That song is a constant reminder that every single race is an opportunity to showcase what you can do and prove to the world that you deserve to be in F1.”
