George Russell is geared-up to kick-start his second season in Formula One, prepared to contest this weekend’s Australian Grand Prix with ROKiT Williams Racing.

After making his debut at motorsport’s top flight last season, George returns to Melbourne for a second time, racing around the 5.303km-long Melbourne Street Circuit – a venue that demands experience and physical endurance with 16 demanding corners.

Coming off the back of a productive pre-season testing period, in which George completed 393 laps of the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, the Briton enters Formula 1’s impending competition with refreshed optimism in ROKiT Williams Racing’s refined FW43 package.
