Get Ready for... The Russell Bustle!

[Rob Dylan]

It seems that li'l Georgie Russell has finally found his way up to the big boys club. It has been far too long since we've had a proper dedicated driver fan thread, so I'm starting this one.

But seriously, starting at a team as successful as Williams! Have you seen how many titles they've won? I expect him to be winning by the summer break he could even be as successful as past Williams greats Bruno Senna and Pastor Maldonado! I am reminded already of the halcyon days of Nakajima, or of Pizzonia. Maybe that's asking too much of the kid at this point though.

If he succeeds in cutting the F1 mustard, this thread ought to be called the "The Russell Hustle". Unless there's a highly unlikely radical shift in Williams' performance he'll really need to hustle the FW42 to extract a decent result out of it.

Or if he shows off some Artem Markelov-level racecraft, we could switch to "The Russell Tussle", or even "The Russell Muscle" if he gets into a habit of barging people out the way.

I'll get my coat...and my rhyming dictionary.

Ah yes - Antonio P - who I was convinced was going to be very big in F1 indeed....What could have been..(?) Oh well . I'm sure George won't follow that path
