Sliding into the weekend… like George Russell?
Oh sorry, not the Formula 1 driver! We're talking about the Siberian cat and beloved family pet of our Deputy Director, Ben Van Mooy! While attending the F1 Canadian Grand Prix last June, the Van Mooy family decided they would name their new kitten after whoever won—and the rest is history.
Now 10 months old, George Russell is living up to his namesake with ever-more glamorous and speedy feats, like this epic ice luge test in the Van Mooy’s backyard. Next stop: the Milan Olympics!
No cats (or F1 drivers) were harmed in the making of this video.
