1
Hi I'm George Russell and these are my 10 essential items with GQ.
2
This item is my race suit.
3
Pretty important for what I do.
4
It's pretty toasty inside of here because of the fireproof it's got a really thick layer inside.
5
So during the hot races you're struggling quite a lot in there
6
but I'm guessing you'll be pretty thankful if you were to be in flames, which fingers crossed never happens.
7
During the races, especially the hot races, we lose up to about four kilos,
8
mainly in fluids, but we actually have to weigh the suit on its own before and after the race,
9
because often you've got about a kilo's worth of sweat just within this race suit.
10
So I don't know if that's a good thing or pretty disgusting, but all the sweat is in there somewhere.
11
The suit is always tailor -made for the driver but it needs to be tailor -made in a seated position.
12
It actually needs to be a little bit baggier around the bum
13
when you're standing because when we're in the race car sat down it all stretches out
14
so when we're walking around it may not look like the most tailor -made suit
15
but when we're sat in the cockpit it's uh yeah it fits like a glove.
16
my next essential is my passport this stays on me 24 7 everywhere
17
i go it says russell p2 on the back
18
because i actually have two passports because we travel
19
so much you're allowed two passports when they're sent off for visas it's not
20
because i'm an agent or a spy or anything like that but That is legit, apparently.
21
I've only had this one just over a year, but I'm 29 pages in so far.
22
Some good locations in here, bringing back a few memories.
23
Japanese visa, Malaysia a few times, Australia.
24
Yeah, I've definitely been through at least two passports and I've also got a second, so I guess that's three passports I'm closing in on.
25
my notepad i actually leave the notepad next to my bed open every time i sleep
26
because i'm always thinking about things i felt like whenever
27
i wrote things down it took it away from my mind
28
and it would allow me to sleep better
29
and relax more i'd always write down notes before a race
30
so we'd have our strategy meeting in the morning where we'd go through all the different options maximize the tires
31
which corners that I need to be more aggressive on
32
which corners I need to be a bit more cautious on to protect the car protect the tires
33
I've also got the very first page is the scores of a card game with my family
34
they're pretty diverse no bad police sunglasses obviously one to protect myself from the sun
35
but also we have so many time zone shifts during the season we're traveling
36
so much and wearing sunglasses at the right point of the day really helps to adjust the body clock
37
so you may sometimes see me walking around an airport with my sunnies on
38
and i promise i'm not trying to look like a rock star
39
i'm just trying to get into the the next time zone i don't know
40
if you can tell from the camera but I have quite a large head
41
so finding sunglasses that fit are not always easy
42
but since I started wearing police they just fit my face
43
and this is a sort of a style I like so yeah I don't know what you think.
44
My next travel essential is my speaker.
45
I just love listening to music while getting ready in the morning in the shower
46
so you need something pretty potent pretty pretty loud
47
I'm one of those people who don't have one standout artist who is my favorite
48
I have a lot of respect for Ed Sheeran, Coldplay,
49
Black Eyed Peas as well I'm definitely not the one in social situations to take control of the music
50
because I feel that is one of the highest pressurized jobs
51
so I always give that to somebody else and then
52
when I don't like I just complain about it so yeah that's not for me.
53
My trusty pillow.
54
I travel quite a lot.
55
I stay in many different hotels.
56
My pet hate is when I'd get to a hotel, I'd lay in the bed, bed's nice and comfy, and I'd get this pillow,
57
and it would either be too big, too small, too firm, too soft.
58
So I thought, you know what, I need to take my own pillow everywhere I go.
59
So I need to leave a little extra space in my bag just for this.
60
It might be a little disgusting.
61
I think I've had it for about four or five, five years now this pillow so I don't want to do it
62
because I'm scared to take the pillowcase off to see what the pillow looks like beneath but
63
Once you've found the one you love, you can't change it, can you?
64
My next essential item is my white linen
65
Tommy Hilfiger shirt.
66
I feel that with a white shirt that fits you properly, you can wear it for any occasion, whether you're going for smart dinner,
67
casual dinner, going to the beach.
68
I mean, I might even just throw it on now, you know.
69
Here we go.
70
roll the sleeves up a little bit any situation
71
this fitness band i don't even know the official name for it i find
72
it really handy whenever i'm actually flying to be honest just doing little exercises and stretches with this band i mean
73
we're not really inventing the world here but this is sort of like a simple stretch
74
This is what I'd normally do
75
when you're standing near like the toilets on an aeroplane
76
so you don't have a lot of space and
77
when people are queuing for the toilets they're looking at you like what the hell are you doing?
78
Keeps me fit I guess.
79
A new addition to the 10 essentials during a race weekend
80
I wanted to have a little sleep before one of the races it was pretty noisy around
81
and then I'd have those horrible squidgy orange earplugs I'd stick in
82
and then they'd always like fall out and they wouldn't really work
83
and it just felt horrible and disgusting so I put my earplugs in that I use to race in.
84
They've obviously got the wires which connect to the car
85
so I asked my team
86
if they'd be able to create little earplugs molded to my ears
87
that I can stick in anytime while I'm flying while I'm sleeping obviously with no wires attached.
88
Self -care.
89
You know you obviously find these in all the hotels you go to
90
but they vary quite a lot when you're traveling between the US, Mexico, Japan, China, Australia.
91
So I always take my trusty shampoo, my hair gel, it's actually clay, and my Gillette razor.
92
So I like to take good care of myself, playing around a bit with my hair last year which was a new thing for me.
93
I have the same hairstyle for about 15 years which was cut by my mum.
94
My daily routine when I wake up I always try and stay off my phone.
95
I think it's really good for your mind that's so important.
96
Obviously jumping in the shower, clean my teeth.
97
Yeah I probably should have brought my toothbrush with me here as well.
98
That is also an essential but I thought these were the main ones.
99
Have a shave, do my hair.
100
I'd like to think I'm the cleanest shaven driver on the grid.
101
I mean there are some who are still struggling to grow a beard, so maybe they have beat me in that race.
102
But for those who can grow a bit of stubble or a beard, I think I'll have the cleanest one.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
