George Russell<\/a> has gone viral after the Mercedes<\/a> Formula 1 team shared a video of the Briton making sure that Toto and Susie Wolff’s son, Jack, managed to get the drivers to sign his F1 cards in Monaco.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old made sure to grab as many drivers as possible to sign the collectible cards.<\/p>\n

“We’re getting Jacky’s cards signed,” Russell said, before going on the hunt for the signatures. While Cadillac’s Valtteri Bottas<\/a> approached first, Wolff unfortunately didn’t have his card to sign.<\/p>\n

But the pair went on to gain the signatures of\u00a0Liam Lawson<\/a>, Oscar Piastri<\/a>, Lando Norris<\/a>, Alex Albon<\/a>, Ollie Bearman, Gabriel Bortoleto<\/a>, Carlos Sainz<\/a>, Charles Leclerc<\/a>, Fernando Alonso<\/a>, Lewis Hamilton<\/a> and Max Verstappen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Do you actually want Lando’s or not?” Russell joked to Wolff. “Because I wouldn’t want it.”<\/p>\n

Norris added: “Do you sell them and make money?” The 2025 champion, his McLaren<\/a> team-mate Piastri and Russell burst into laughter when Wolff confirmed that he did.<\/p>\n

When it came to Albon’s turn, he said, “I’ve put my number, so it’s worth more money.”<\/p>\n

Having spent 12 seasons at Mercedes, seven-time champion Hamilton was eager to see the young Wolff. “How are you doing? Give me a hug!” Hamilton said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fans were quick to react to the wholesome moment. “George literally being DEDICATED is so sweet,” one fan commented on TikTok, while another added: “Love how Lewis goes in for a hug.”<\/p>\n

“Lewis is so kind with kids,” read another comment, and someone else posted: “Not George looking more excited to get the cards signed.”<\/p>\n

Further reactions included: “The kid is living our dream,” and “George saying he wouldn’t want Lando’s signature. I love their Tom & Jerry relationship.”<\/p>\n

This comes during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend. So far, Ferrari<\/a> has been on top with Leclerc and Hamilton finishing FP1 with the fastest and second-fastest times. The roles were reversed in FP2 as Hamilton topped the\u00a0timesheet, followed by Leclerc.<\/p>\n
