George Russell showed why he is tipped for a bright future by making a hugely impressive FIA Formula Three European Championship debut.
The 17-year-old finished eighth, fifth and first – bagging a sensational win during only his second F3 race – to pick up 39 points during the campaign's opening round at Silverstone.
The King's Lynn-based hot-shot sits third in the standings, 11 behind leader Antonio Giovinazzi.
