Mercedes has announced their driver line-up for the post-season Pirelli test at the Yas Marina Circuit, and it consists of – George Russell!
Although it is usual to use two drivers in the post-season Pirelli test, this year Mercedes’ 2022 driver George Russell will be driving for the team on both days.
This is believed to be because Lewis Hamilton is scheduled to receive his knighthood at Windsor Castle on Wednesday.
