Mercedes F1 star George Russell just dropped some major relationship news that has fans buzzing. The British driver revealed he’s engaged to long-time partner Carmen Mundt, and the timing couldn’t be more perfect—right in the middle of the sport’s summer break.
Russell shared the happy update on social media without a single word, letting the pictures do all the talking. One snap shows the couple sharing a kiss, while another highlights Carmen’s sparkling engagement ring. His caption?
Just a ring emoji and a white heart.
The pair have been together since 2020, and Carmen is a familiar face in the paddock during race weekends. But according to Russell, she’s much more than just a supportive partner. In a recent interview, he opened up about how she helps him stay grounded in the high-pressure world of Formula 1.
“Carmen brings me stability when it comes to racing and also a way to disconnect,” Russell told the Times in June. “Without doubt she’s my future. So [I hope we’ll be married] in due course.
It won’t be next week, but it won’t be longer than five years.”
So who is the woman who stole the F1 star’s heart? Carmen Mundt was born in Spain in 1998 and moved to London at 18 to study. She earned a degree in business management and finance from the University of Westminster and now works for Ruffer LLP, an investment firm based in the UK capital.
With a ring on her finger and a wedding on the horizon, one question remains: will the big day happen before or after Russell’s next championship push?
