Russell is set to become the third Briton on the 2019 grid, joining fellow rookie Lando Norris (McLaren) and reigning World Champion Lewis Hamilton. Russell has taken six wins in Formula 2 this season and stands on the brink of the title, having opened a 37-point advantage over Alexander Albon. Russell has previously carried out Formula 1 test runs for both Mercedes and Force India.
