Mercedes driver George Russell was seen having a coffee break with Charles Leclerc’s girlfriend, Alexandra. Don't get it wrong, Russell’s GF Carmen was also present there, and the three enjoyed some laughter together. F1 drivers are high-risk athletes, and they always carry immense pressure on their minds. Family is the only thing that can calm them down, and that is why most drivers want their family to be in their garages during races.
George Russell is actually doing a pretty good job for Mercedes this year by maintaining his consistency and is fourth in the driver's championship table. Many believe he will get a contract extension this year, and Mercedes will go with the same lineup for the 2026 season.
Even during the Bahrain Grand Prix, George Russell had many issues with his car. His ECU was not working properly, and his tyres were not good. The british driver, without complaining, finished in P2, keeping Lando Norris behind him. That was an unbelievable drive by George as he beat Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and McLaren’s Lando Norris and clinched the podium. But before everything happened, he was seen having coffee with his girlfriend, Carmen and his buddy Leclerc’s girlfriend, Alexandra.

George Russell, Carmen &Alexandra having a coffee break
Just like F1 drivers, their girlfriends also become friends after coming to the paddock. Alexandra has a great relationship with many F1 drivers' girlfriends. This time, she was seen with Carmen and George drinking coffee. The trio will now head to Saudi Arabia to complete the triple header. McLaren is now leading both Formula 1 championships. Lando is leading the driver's title, keeping his teammate Oscar Piastri behind him in second place.
The Jeddah race will be tough for many drivers as it has many high-speed blind corners, which are really threatening. F1 drivers are the best in the world, and they can handle that. Max Verstappen is the winner of the Saudi Arabian GP last year, and this time he has no hopes of winning with the RB21 car.
