George Russell and Kimi Antonelli share podium
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!"
