Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team racer George Russell, who recently got fined for aborted start chaos in the Brazilian GP alongside Norris has a distinctive taste in cars. His car collection lineup boasts a total of 6 vehicles and most of them are sports coupes while a few feature his thoughts on practicality and love for classic cars. While the prodigal son gained worldwide attention for his performance in the Sakhir Grand Prix, his garage attracts the eyes of even non-motorheads.

People often think F1 drivers don’t have the patience or knowledge to appreciate classic cars from the '60s or '70s. Well, George Russell is an exception and that can be witnessed through his early ‘70s Mercedes model from the infamous “Pagoda” line of SLs - the M-Benz 280SL.

The next one on the list is a fun-driving coupe that George fell in love with back in the day. On top of that, being an F1 driver, George is very meticulous about a car’s handling capabilities and the razor-sharp handling prowess of the C63 S makes the car one of his favorite ones.

There have been reports of George Russell owing a Bentley Bentayga, a Ferrari 812, and a McLaren GT, however, neither images nor any other supporting evidence have surfaced to authenticate those claims. These posts suggest both the credibility of other reports unlike ours and the popularity of the man involved in these claims. Stay tuned as we will be back if Russell does end up buying his first Ferrari or Bentley.
