Russell and Toto Wolff's son go karting

Is Wolff's son going to be a racing driver? Russell takes him karting

George Russell has returned to "his roots" by visiting the karting track with Toto Wolff's son. Russell and the Wolff family have spent a lot of time together recently, and now the Mercedes driver is perhaps teaching Wolff's son all he knows on the race track.

Russell and his girlfriend, Carmen Montero Mundt, joined the Wolff family at the World Cup Alpine Skiing in Austria last week. This time, they returned to familiar ground: the race track. In a post shared on Instagram by Russell, the Brit can be seen sitting on the barrier with Wolff's son, looking over a sunny circuit. In the second picture, Russell stands in the pitlane alongside Toto and his son.

Russell is then racing with a younger driver, presumably Wolff's son. Russell is ahead at the time of filming, but the two are close together. This leads to questions in the comments section about whether or not Russell beat Wolff's son. Some fans even label Russell as "Uncle George". 

Either way, it looks like they all had fun. Russell highlighted that it took him "back to his karting roots" and generated the question of whether mini Wolff will become a racer.
