The only thing shining brighter than the couple’s beaming smiles was the future F1 wife’s engagement ring. The breathtaking three-stone ring featured a staggering oval-cut yellow diamond in the center.

Hers is a ring fit for a queen of Formula 1 and worthy of a relationship that lasted six years before Russell finally popped the question.

While many F1 WAGs were quick to share their congratulations for the newly engaged couple, social media commenters weren’t shy about giving Russell a bit of grief over the couple dating for six years before getting engaged.

“Yeez!!! It was about time, George!😭😂 Congratulations,” wrote one fan, echoing the sentiments of many. Another added, “finally.”

Another gushed, “My fav driver couple finally makes the next step ahhh😍💍✨ congrats to both of you!! the ring looks so special 💛”

George Russell’s Rise to Formula 1 Stardom

A rising star in F1, George Russell’s career took a major turning point when he was called on to replace Lewis Hamiltonat Mercedes for the Sakhir Grand Prix. A botched pit stop derailed his race, but the event put Russell on the map.

He delivered his first F1 victory at the Brazilian Grand Prix after joining Mercedes full-time in 2022 alongside Hamilton. He recorded two victories in 2025, helping Mercedes finish second in the Constructors’ Championship.

Now fully in championship contention, Russell sits third in the Drivers’ Championship with two wins, five podiums, and four pole positions this season.

George Russell and Carmen Montero Mundt’s Love Story

Russell and Carmen Montero Mundt met in 2020 through a mutual friend in London but have kept their relationship mostly out of the spotlight. Despite her own career in finance and as a budding entrepreneur, Montero Mundt has become one of the most recognizable faces on the F1 sidelines, supporting her superstar boyfriend, now fiancé.

Excitement over the couple’s engagement has gone viral on social media, highlighting the popularity of sports WAGs and the ever-growing notoriety of F1 drivers.

Thanks in part to Netflix’s behind-the-scenes F1 series Drive to Survive and more opportunities to watch races on streaming platforms, Formula 1 drivers and their partners have become some of the most followed personalities in the pop culture and sports world.
