Mercedes AMG- PETRONAS F1 superstar George Russell IWC Schaffhausen at Watches and Wonders 2026 in Geneva.
George Russell discusses the Miami GP and the season so far:
- Describes Miami as one of his favourite tracks on the calendar
- Highlights the tight, technical final section and strong overtaking opportunities
- Says he is “feeling good and confident” and “ready to go for it again” after the enforced break
- Notes the season has “started off really, really well,” despite a challenge in Japan
- Credits new regulations and engine package as better aligned to the team’s strengths
- Praises teammate Kimi Antonelli as an “incredibly quick driver” with a strong start
- Reflects on his own journey, highlighting the excitement of seeing young talent such as Kimi come through
This comes after IWC Schaffhausen launched their Pilot’s Venturer Vertical Drive earlier this week – a timepiece made specifically to meet the demands of spaceflight. In partnership with Vast, , the team behind Haven-1, set to become the world’s first commercial space station, the watch has now received space qualification from Vast for flight on Haven-1. The watch is designed to support life in orbit, where spacecraft circle the Earth roughly every 90 minutes, requiring astronauts to rely entirely on precise, functional timekeeping to structure their day.
