Mercedes has shared a behind-the-scenes look at the first day of George Russell, who will make the big switch from Williams in 2022. In the process, the young Briton once again demonstrates his talent for giving PowerPoint presentations, something he initially used to get into the spotlight of Toto Wolff.

The 2022 Formula 1 season has a big change in store for Russell: he is swapping the Williams team for that of Mercedes. In doing so, he is no longer setting his sights on scoring a few points, but on winning races and maybe even the world title.

Russell addresses Mercedes employees

Recently, Russell visited the Mercedes plants in Brackley and Brixworth for the first time and tried out the team's simulator. The video also shows him taking a tour of the German racing stable's headquarters and getting to know its many employees.

He was also part of a presentation, in which he gave a short speech. The 23-year-old Briton showed years ago that he has a talent for this as well: Using a PowerPoint presentation he managed to convince Wolff that he belonged in the Mercedes junior program.
