On Monday, Russell took to his Instagram page to share a post after his win. He shared pictures of himself and Kimi drenched in champagne and posing with their trophies and wrote, 'Champagne showers.
Solid job, team.'
Fans loved their bonding, visible in the pictures. A fan called it 'Big bro and little bro energy.' Another wrote, 'This is so brother core and I love it.' One more commented, 'The best driver duo, We love you boys!!' A comment from Adidas Motorsport's Instagram page read: 'This is what champagne dreams are made of.'
George Russell had won the pole and was able to maintain his lead throughout the race, with Red Bull's Max Verstappen trailing behind in second place ever since the race started.
The season's leading driver, Oscar Piastri, had a last-moment clash with his teammate Lando Norris and ended up taking fourth position in the race.
An overjoyed Russell had said after the win, "It is amazing to be back on the top step. I felt last year was a victory lost, so to get the victory and see Kimi on the podium too is an amazing day for the team. I think the strength of our car is in the cooler conditions so let's see in the coming races, but let's enjoy this for now. Good day, good day!"

Tom Brady once choked up as he admitted he wasn't as good a father as his own dad: "When I think about being a dad..."
Throwback to when Tom Brady's voice cracked as he recalled how his dad shaped his life (Getty Images) For all his accolades on the football field—seven Super Bowl titles, a two-decade reign as the NFL 's most feared quarterback, and a legacy unmatched in modern sports—Tom Brady continues to credit his biggest victories to someone much closer to home: his father, Tom Brady Sr. Tom Brady gets candid about fatherhood, his hero, and the lessons he hopes to pass on Despite achieving unparalleled success with the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and landing a massive $375 million contract with Fox Sports after retirement, Brady often steers the conversation away from himself. When asked who he admires most, the answer has remained consistent throughout the years. 'I think my dad is my hero, because he's somebody I look up to every day,' Brady once said, holding back tears in an emotional Father's Day clip shared by Fox. Brady's tribute to his father isn't just reserved for interviews. On Father's Day, he posted a heartfelt message on Instagram alongside photos of his parents and his children. 'Happy Father's Day to my dad who taught me everything about what it means to be a father,' he wrote. 'And to all the dads out there that who are great role models to their kids.' In his eyes, Tom Brady Sr. wasn't just a supportive father—he was the blueprint for how to live with purpose. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo 'My dad has always been my biggest supporter, my best friend, and my No. 1 teacher not just in sports but in life," Brady shared. "The values he passed on to our family — hard work, integrity, compassion, and unconditional love, shaped me in every way." Even years after stepping off the field, Brady's reflections on fatherhood continue to strike a deeply personal chord. In a 2022 interview with ESPN, he became visibly emotional while discussing how he tries to emulate his father in raising his own three children. 'When I think about being a dad, I think about him. Because of what my dad meant to me," he said. 'I know I'm not as good as dad to my kids that my dad's been to me. ' Brady's goal is not to mold his children into future NFL stars, but to guide them in becoming compassionate, respectful, and fulfilled individuals. 'We want our kids to be happy, I want them to be respectful to people, and I want them to be kind and make the world a better place,' he emphasized. Although Brady famously used his sixth-round draft snub as motivation to fuel his historic NFL journey, he hopes his kids won't inherit the same all-consuming drive. 'What I really want for them is to find something they love like I have,' he said. 'But I have taken it to an extreme too… there are imbalances in my life and I hope they don't take things as far as I've taken them.' He concluded with a candid truth many parents can relate to: 'I want them to find great success in whatever they do but there's a torment in me that I don't wish upon them.' Brady may have retired from football, but in fatherhood, his most meaningful legacy is still unfolding.

Virat Kohli told Jos Buttler '…I don't know how to play', exposed his vulnerable side: 'He spoke about his insecurities'
Anyone who uses Instagram or social media in general a lot knows about this next phrase: "Ek hi toh dil hai Virat Kohli bhai. Kitni baar jeetoge?" This is way too common for people to write about when it comes to Virat Kohli. The man is a living legend. He's achieved almost every batting feat that there is in white-ball cricket and continues to be revered around the world. However, in 2025, as he enters the final stage of his career, Kohli is doing what every great cricketer does – giving back to the game. At the end of a match, Kohli could be seen passing his knowledge to players of the opposition camp, more so during the IPL, which is anyway a breeding ground for youngsters. Ask any budding cricketer who has shared the ground with Kohli? He has nothing but wonderful things to say about him. But did you know? Kohli's sharing of wisdom isn't restricted only to his own countrymen. Days after young Jacob Bethell revealed how Kohli helped him in Royal Challengers Bengaluru during IPL 2025, his England teammate Jos Buttler has joined the bandwagon in thanking Virat for the same. Buttler, representing the Gujarat Titans, holds the record for the third-most runs scored in a single edition of the IPL, behind Kohli (973) and Shubman Gill (890), when he plundered 863 runs for the Rajasthan Royals in 2022. However, the following year was a struggle for Buttler, and that's where Kohli came in to settle down his nerves. Also Read: I exploited Virat Kohli's weakness. With Sachin Tendulkar, I tried not to…; James Anderson's 'most difficult' choice "I had that one season in 2022, where I scored 868 runs. But he [Kohli] holds the record for the most runs in a season – 973. Which is phenomenal. So I basically found the next season difficult, in the sense 'how do I live up to that' and we were training at the same time as RCB. I've played a lot against Virat. He's a huge competitor, but I just thought that I'll ask him a couple of questions. He had just finished batting. The question was about how you manage expectations. I mean, there are more expectations on him than anyone in world cricket. He was so generous with his time, so helpful. He just had to say 'Maybe you had that one season. Accept that. Don't try and replicate it'. It's ok. Life is going to be fine," Buttler told Stuart Broad during 'For the Love of Cricket' podcast. That wasn't all. In order to paint an even clearer picture to Buttler, Kohli exposed his vulnerable side to Buttler, sharing his own insecurities with the former England captain. Kohli usually carries himself as this alpha male, unbothered, unperturbed by situations, but as Buttler pointed out, even our KING is a human, who is run by a bunch of emotions "And then he started talking about some of the insecurities he sometimes has about his game and stuff like that. How he practices. I mean, this is arguably the best player of our generation, especially in white-ball and ODIs. I was so thankful for his time and grateful for his insights. Just amazed by the knowledge he had of my own game, what my work. He too is human. He said 'sometimes I pick up the bat and feel like I don't know how to play. I feel that quite a lot so if he feels that too, it's ok," added Buttler.
