George Russell was recently present at the Mercedes factory in Brackley to try on his seat for the new car. The German team has released a video from that day, which includes another notable detail: teammate Lewis Hamilton was also present.

So the two have now also officially met as teammates. Perhaps this has happened before, but in that case it was not revealed by either party.

Since Hamilton announced his return on social media, Mercedes has not missed an opportunity to draw attention to the driver. For example, in a response to its own video, Mercedes notes that the seven-time world champion can be seen in the video.
