Russell and Wolff try their hand at sailing

Wolff (who, alongside Sir Jim Ratcliffe's INEOS, owns a third of the Mercedes-AMG F1 team), Russell and Hamilton were given a tour around INEOS Britiannia's base in Barcelona by INEOS' founder Ratcliffe and INEOS Britannia Team Principal and skipper Sir Ben Ainslie.
INEOS Britannia is a project that combines INEOS Sport and Mercedes' Applied Science division, competing for the oldest international trophy in world sport. Russell and Wolff joined Ainslie on the water, after the full trio spent time on the team's simulator.
