Formula 1 star George Russell has taken a major step in his personal life. The Mercedes driver is engaged to his longtime partner, Carmen Montero Mundt, after proposing during a romantic seaside dinner.
Russell, 28, and Mundt, also 28, shared the happy news on Instagram on August 9, posting pictures from their intimate celebration. The couple appeared dressed in white while enjoying an outdoor dinner overlooking the sea, with Mundt also showing off her engagement ring.
The announcement was kept simple, with the couple using ring and heart emojis rather than a lengthy caption. The post quickly drew congratulatory messages from the Formula 1 community, including Mercedes and the official F1 account.
Russell and Mundt have been together since 2020. Over the years, Mundt has frequently been seen supporting Russell at Formula 1 events and around the paddock.
While Russell has built his career behind the wheel, Mundt has developed her own professional path. She has a background in finance and business and is associated with skincare brand Barriers. She moved from Spain to the UK at 18 to continue her education and later studied business management and finance at the University of Westminster.
Russell has previously spoken about the importance of having Mundt in his life away from racing. Their relationship has remained relatively private despite their regular appearances together at F1 events.
The engagement comes during another important phase of Russell’s Formula 1 career. He has been racing for Mercedes since 2022 and has established himself as one of the team’s leading drivers. GMA News reports that he currently has seven Grand Prix victories and 29 podium finishes.
For fans following Russell’s career, the engagement adds a personal milestone to an already eventful period. The announcement also makes Russell and Mundt the latest F1 couple to celebrate a major relationship milestone this year.
The pair have yet to reveal any details about wedding plans, leaving fans waiting to see what comes next for the newly engaged couple.
