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.

George Russell has been one of the most consistent drivers on the grid this season. The 24-year-old has finished every race this season in the top 5. Along the way, Russell has picked up 3 podiums to his name, in Australia, Spain, and Azerbaijan.

This has prompted many fans to switch his nickname from “Mr. Saturday” to “Mr. Consistency”. The people at Mercedes also agree, with them posting this hilarious meme on their Twitter handle.
