Quite simply, she follows her companion pilot wherever he goes. And we know that life in Formula 1 is made up of traveling everywhere. Carmen Montero Mundt and George Russell both appear almost everywhere, with the lovebirds photographed in every paddock. And for good reason, they almost never let go.
