Max Verstappen reveals why George Russell keeps snubbing his invites outMercedes ace George Russell has been advised by Formula 1 rival Max Verstappen to ease up on his intense training regime to make time for socialising with fellow drivers.

The three-time world champion playfully hinted that the Englishman’s packed schedule might be keeping him from joining in on friendly gatherings, reports the Express.

Despite the fierce competition on the track, it’s quite common for F1 drivers from different teams to mingle off the circuit. However, it seems Russell and Verstappen have found it hard to sync their calendars for some downtime together.a chat with Canal+, Piastri remarked: “I’ve seen George post [online] a few times when he is in the gym,” prompting Norris to chime in with a cheeky comment: “George is the guy who goes to the gym and makes sure he posts on Instagram ‘Look I’m in the gym.'”

Adding to the friendly banter, Verstappen mentioned: “We have invited him many times to padel but sometimes his training schedule didn’t allow him to go to padel.” While Russell’s social media does show his dedication to staying fit, Norris’s comments suggest he might be overemphasizing his gym time online.

The Brit recently offered a glimpse of his personal life by posting a picture of himself posing with hands on his hips while Williams’ Alex Albon humorously hung from rings in the background. Russell showed his playful side, captioning the photo cheekily: “Can’t get away from this guy. . .”
