George Russell made his much-awaited move to Mercedes this year. The Briton had spent the last 3 years at Williams, mostly at the back of the grid. While he was with the Grove-based team, Russell was lauded for his qualifying pace.

He even earned the nickname “Mr.Saturday” due to his performances in qualifying. However, with his move to Mercedes, that nickname changed a little. Russell has been the most reliable driver when it has come to scoring big points and has nine top 5 finishes to his name.
