Carmen Mundt, known as George Russell‘s girlfriend, often posts inspirational quotes on her Instagram, connecting with thousands of fans. Recently, the Spanish model shared a heartfelt message encouraging support and empowerment among women, which struck a chord with her 622,000 followers.
The quote she posted was:
“Don’t be the reason another woman feels insecure. Be the reason she feels supported, encouraged, seen, heard and important.”
Since 2020, when Russell joined Mercedes and the couple began dating, Mundt has frequently been present during race weekends, supporting her partner throughout the Formula 1 seasons.
George Russell reflects on the importance of Carmen Mundt’s support
George Russell has experienced a challenging start to his Formula 1 career, moving from Williams to Mercedes under intense pressure. Early delays in joining Mercedes’s main team meant he spent extra time with a backmarker team, Williams, but by 2022, he secured his position as a lead driver, competing closely with Lewis Hamilton.
Throughout these ups and downs, Mundt’s enduring support has been crucial. Russell acknowledged the emotional toll of a demanding racing career, sharing insights into the loneliness and uncertainty that comes with his lifestyle:
“I left school at 13 and have very few friends to be honest. It can be a lonely life. You are in different hotels, different countries, different time zones, different climates. Mondays are emotional hangover days after a race. A slap in the face if you are on a high after a good result, and a slap in the face after a bad one if you dwell on it. I play padel to get my mind off things, rather than sit inside scrolling through social media.”
He also emphasized how much Mundt means to him as his emotional anchor amid this instability:
“As for Carmen, I feel lucky having her around. She is my emotional support in the world of instability I live in. I wouldn’t change anything in my life now or what went before.”
Upcoming challenges and milestones for the couple
The motorsport couple celebrated their fifth anniversary earlier this year on February 7, underscoring a stable relationship in the unpredictable world of Formula 1. With the next Grand Prix set to take place at Austria’s Red Bull Ring, a venue where Russell last achieved victory, the couple looks ahead to continued challenges and achievements.
Mundt’s inspirational posts and steady presence have become an important part of Russell’s life, helping him face the pressures of competing at the highest level while maintaining balance and optimism.
