In a recent interview with
Canal+, some of the
F1 drivers were asked which driver was most likely to be found in the gym, to which they all replied with
George Russell. Living up to his expectations, Russell has since shared a picture of him in the gym with
Alex Albon, and made a slight dig towards the
Williams driver.
In their interview with
Canal+ over the
Monaco Grand Prix weekend, both
McLaren drivers
Lando Norris and
Oscar Piastri, as well as
Red Bull's
Max Vertsappen, were asked which
F1 driver was most likely to be found in the gym. All three were in agreement over Russell. They even joked about how you know when he is in the gym.
"I've seen George post a few times when he is in the gym," Piastri said, to which Norris added: “George is the guy who goes to the gym and makes sure he posts on Instagram ‘Look I’m in the gym’.” Verstappen even joked how the Mercedes driver's busy workout schedule has got in the way of meeting up: "We have invited him many times to padel but sometimes his training schedule didn’t allow him to go to padel."
'Can't get away from this guy'
Russell certainly lived up to his expectations after sharing a few snaps on social media of him in the gym. On Thursday, the first showed him working out with Albon, and was captioned: 'Can't get away from this guy'.
Following the race on Sunday, Verstappen joked that him and the Brit needed to go on a run after the 'boring race':
"I think George and I are going to go for a run now because we didn't really have any exercise. That was terrible, so boring," Verstappen told
Viaplay. Now, Russell has also shared a short video of him in the gym, burning off his energy from Monaco.
