Williams’ George Russell is in search of a pastime to put his mind off the high-strung world of F1 when he’s away from the sport’s fast lane.
The 21-year-old rookie’s challenging maiden season in Grand Prix racing has been well chronicled, along with Williams’ hardship, the Grove-based outfit still fighting to extricate itself from the doldrums.
Russell knows his formative year in F1 has been about beating his team mate – a box he has clearly ticked – and gaining knowledge and experience, precious assets he will capitalize on later in his career, when his equipment becomes worthy of his abundant talent.

To quell the tensions, relaxation and distractions beyond the track are paramount, except that Russell has yet find a suitable hobby.
“I’m not doing enough to relax at the moment,” Russell told Yahoo Sport.
“My mentality coming into this year, because I didn’t know what to fully expect being a Formula One driver, was that I just wanted to give it absolutely everything and review what it takes to be an F1 driver at the end of the year.
“I really understand now that I need to find something to get me away from F1, to relax, to take my mind off it.
“I’m still yet to find that but it will probably end up being golf.”
