Russell and Wolves

George's dad, Steve Russell, has been a season ticket holder at Molineux for a number of years. He attends most games, and this is why Russell supports the club. Russell grew up in Wisbech and was educated at Wisbech Grammar School, some 120 miles away from Wolverhampton's home stadium.
During Russell's debut year in F1, he attended a match at Molineux and was presented with a named shirt on the pitch. Speaking to Wolves themselves, 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."
"Since going into Formula 1, it’s been really difficult to follow the team as much as I would like because we’re racing all over the world every week, and the games are usually happening at the same time. 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.”
