George Russell to get married

Russell didn't say anything on his social media posts, instead displaying pictures of him and Mundt kissing as she displays her engagement ring. Russell simply captioned the post with emojis of a ring and a white heart.

Recently, Russell revealed his fiancee was key to keeping him grounded, 'the trick to surviving in the dog-eat-dog world' of F1.

In an interview with the Times in June, Russell pledged his future to Carmen, saying: “Carmen brings me stability when it comes to racing and also a way to disconnect.

"Without doubt she’s my future. So [I hope we’ll be married] in due course. It won’t be next week, but it won’t be longer than five years. So somewhere in that timeframe."

Who is George Russell's girlfriend Carmen Mundt?

Carmen Mundt was born in Spain in 1998 and moved to London when she was 18 to study.

Having graduated with a degree in business management and finance from the University of Westminster, Mundt now works for Ruffer LLP, an investment company based in the English capital.
