George Russell, winner of the 2014 BRDC Formula 4 championship to which Comma is Technical Partner, has crowned his debut season in single-seater racing by being voted British motor sport's most outstanding prospect for the future.
16 year old Russell, from Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, was presented with the McLaren 'Autosport' BRDC award at a gala dinner at London's Grosvenor House hotel on Sunday, December 7th.
