A School Trip Like No Other 🤩   This week - in conjunction with Girls on Track UK - we were delighted to open our factory doors to 42 young girls from four schools in the local Brackley community for an extra-special day of STEM.   The girls, aged 8 – 11, spent the day away from their classrooms testing their reaction skills, stepping into an imaginary world of media and press conferences, and learning to code remote control cars.   The group also got to meet some of our Industrial Placement students for a series of exciting ‘Show and Tell’ sessions, designed to expand their F1 horizons by getting up close to one of our championship-winning cars, George’s race suit and helmet, and our coveted trophy collection.   A key pillar of our inclusion and social impact goals is to ensure the next generation of talent is given the opportunity to experience our sport from an early age.   #STEMEducation #WomenInMotorsport #GirlsOnTrack #Teamwork #MercedesAMGF1 #Formula1

"When racing is in your blood, everything is about time. It’s been the same since I was 10 years old. "Everything I do, from the minute I wake up in the morning, to the minute I go to sleep, is planned pretty much to the second in order to answer one question: Is this making me faster?" George, in his own words, for The Players’ Tribune ✍️ Full piece >> https://lnkd.in/eiYMqnRf #GeorgeRussell #Teamwork #LifeStory #CareerPath #MercedesAMGF1 #Formula1

George Russell on how his father helped him achieve his dream of becoming an F1 driver: “It’s only when I got older that I fully recognised the amount of stress he must have been under. I can look back now, putting myself in his shoes, and think like, if I’m working from seven in the morning till nine at night, and all of the money I’ve earned that week has gone straight into racing on the weekends … And I see my son isn’t taking it seriously or he’s messing around or he made a silly mistake or whatever, of course I’d be upset. He was putting everything on the line. Everything. Growing up, we were comfortable enough to live a good life, which I’m very grateful for. But just being honest, we were not wealthy enough to have a career in racing. Altogether, my father probably spent over a million pounds on my racing career. That’s a hell of a lot of money. Sadly in motorsport though, that doesn’t even get you halfway to F1. And that’s basically everything we had. He was just so deeply invested in the dream. We all were. Me, Dad, Mum, Benji, and Cara. But that’s just what it was. All the chips were pushed in on me. One day, I asked myself a question. Would I rather have had this ‘pat me on the head and tell me everything is great’ relationship with my dad growing up knowing what I know now, which is that the toughness he put on me has set me up for life? No, my dad didn’t give me all the traditional childhood cradling in the world.… But he put his hand in his pocket and gave me every available penny he had. He sold his business to fund my racing. And sacrificed something even more valuable. Time. Every waking second, he sacrificed for my dream. And that means the world to me.” Read the full story: playerstribu.ne/George
