Which football club does George Russell support?

The Mercedes driver, George Russell, has reportedly been heard of supporting Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club, commonly known as Wolves. During his childhood, his father, Steve Russell, had been a season ticket holder at Molineux for a couple of years. As a result, Russell often attended their games to comprehend the concept of the game from a closer perspective.

During his Formula 1 debut, Russell decided to cherish his “diehard football fan” moments and attended a game held at Molineux. He was honoured with a personalised shirt on the pitch due to his rising fame in Formula 1.

When asked about his favourite football club, he said, “I’ve only been to the Wolves about eight or nine games over the years, but each time I come to the games, I get converted into an even bigger fan.”

“Even though I might have lost touch slightly, it was nice to come back to the stadium during my summer break and catch a game. Being at Molineux and seeing the atmosphere always gives you a real buzz. Just from that one game, I will be getting back into it again.”
