Russell said he was dealing with a lot away from the track during his 2025 Singapore victory, but declined to say what it was.
George Russell says a great deal was happening away from the track during the weekend of his 2025 Singapore Grand Prix victory, but he did not say what it was.
In an interview with Austrian broadcaster ORF Sport, Russell was shown photographs of himself celebrating at Marina Bay with his partner, Carmen Montero Mundt. He said, “Psychologically, my brain was quite busy,” and described taking pole and winning as a special moment. The photographs mattered to him, he said, because Montero Mundt had been there through the off-track moments he was dealing with.
The Singapore win was Russell’s second victory of the 2025 season and followed earlier disappointments at Marina Bay. In 2023, a final-lap crash while he was running third cost him what was likely to be a podium finish.
Asked for a hint about what he meant, Russell declined: “No, one day.”
