Mercedes<\/a> Formula 1 driver George Russell<\/a> has announced his engagement to his long-term partner Carmen Montero Mundt.<\/p>\n

Revealing the news in a sweet social media post, with a simple caption of a ring and a white heart, Russell shared photos from the occasion. Judging from the photos, the Briton popped the question at an intimate, candlelit dinner on a beach.<\/p>\n

Russell and Montero Mundt began dating in early 2020 after being introduced by a mutual friend. Since then, Montero Mundt has become a regular presence in the F1 paddock, frequently attending race weekends alongside Russell.<\/p>\n

Montero Mundt works in the financial sector and recently unveiled a skincare brand, Barriers. Originally from Spain, she relocated to the United Kingdom at the age of 18 to pursue higher education, earning a degree in business management and finance from the University of Westminster.<\/p>\n

Russell has previously credited Montero Mundt with providing him with stability and the ability to disconnect from racing. “Carmen brings me stability when it comes to racing and also a way to disconnect,” he told The Times in June 2026, hinting at the engagement.<\/p>\n

“Without doubt she\u2019s my future. So [I hope we\u2019ll be married] in due course. It won\u2019t be next week, but it won\u2019t be longer than five years. So somewhere in that timeframe.”<\/p>\n

Russell’s fellow F1 drivers and others from within the paddock have rushed to offer their congratulations to the couple. “Congratulations to you both, mate,” his Mercedes team-mate Kimi Antonelli commented.<\/p>\n

Alpine’s Pierre Gasly<\/a>, the Mercedes team, the Williams<\/a> team, F1 itself and Alex Albon’s fianc\u00e9e Lily\u00a0Muni He were among the others to send messages to the couple.\u00a0<\/p>\n
