Lewis Hamilton’s F1 team-mate George Russell enjoys winter getaway to Italy with stunning girlfriend Carmen

MERCEDES F1 driver George Russell has been enjoying a winter holiday with his stunning girlfriend.

Russell and his partner Carmen Montero Mundt went on a trip to Italy as he continued his downtime before the next F1 season.

The pair went and visited the Leaning Tower of Pisa and enjoyed some authentic Italian pasta during their holiday.

He shared pictures of the trip on his Instagram page, which showed him posing for a snap on an Italian street.

The post was accompanied with the caption: "Italia".

Fans loved the pictures, as one commented: "Perfect, Giorgio! Always match the aesthetic".

A second wrote: "Eat pasta, drive fast".

A third added: "Eat and drink well eh?"

Although some were more interested in the cardigan he was wearing in one of the pictures, one said: "George, with all due respect, what are you wearing?"

A second added: "My brother in Christ, hire a stylist".

Russell has been with Carmen since 2020, who works as an investment broker.

The 24-year-old Mercedes driver will be back in action on March next year when F1 returns.

The season was set to have 24 races but with the cancellation of the Chinese Grand Prix, there are only 23.

However, Formula 1 is currently considering a replacement race.
