George Russell received a special scrapbook from Malaysian fans during Formula 1's return to Sepang after nine years.

George Russell was presented with a thick scrapbook from a group calling themselves 'Team GR63, Malaysia' during Formula 1's return to Sepang International Circuit. The Mercedes driver described being lost for words when he saw the handwritten notes, sketches, and photographs collected by supporters.

The gift was presented at the entrance to Russell's garage by fans wearing matching turquoise Mercedes hats. Russell later examined the contents in the Mercedes motorhome, expressing amazement at the handmade collection that included written notes, computer-generated content, and drawings.

Russell called the gesture incredible and surreal, noting the size and effort that went into creating the scrapbook. The warmth from fans provided a positive moment for Russell as Mercedes struggled with tire degradation issues during Friday practice sessions at the challenging Malaysian venue.
