Just In: George Russell, Carmen Montero Mundt engagement spark emotional fan reactions

George Russell has announced his engagement to his long-term partner Carmen Montero Mundt.

According to Motor Sport, 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.

As per the photos shared on Instagram, the Briton popped the question at an intimate, candlelit dinner on a beach.

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.

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.

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.

“Without doubt she’s my future. So [I hope we’ll be married] in due course. It won’t be next week, but it won’t be longer than five years. So somewhere in that timeframe.”

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
