Russell celebrates birthday at prsentation for the W14 and 2023 F1 season

George Russell turns 25 today and is celebrating with the ultimate birthday party: Mercedes' car launch. On Wednesday, the team will present the W14, which should bring Russell and Lewis Hamilton more happiness than its predecessor.

For Russell, Wednesday is a double celebration. Not only does he get a first look at the new car he will drive in the 2023 Formula 1 season, he also has a birthday on the day of the event.

To what extent he will celebrate remains to be seen, as it will be a busy working day for the Mercedes drivers. After the launch, they will immediately take to the Silverstone circuit for a filming day with the new car.
