Hamilton leaves Russell stunned after CRAZY daredevil announcement

Mercedes star Lewis Hamilton has announced his plans to take Formula 1 team-mate George Russell skydiving.

The revelation came from Hamilton himself, who cheekily shared the surprise with the public at a fan event.

"I'm taking George skydiving next week," Hamilton grinned.

"He didn't know that. He now knows."

Responding to Hamilton's spontaneous invitation, Russell expressed his excitement.

"He didn't tell me this, but I’m up for it," replied Russell.

"I'm game. you go every year. I never get an invite. So I feel privileged to be invited.

Russell also couldn't resist the chance to crack a joke out of the situation.

"I've never done it, we're not going tandem are we?" he asked.

Hamilton simply replied with a laugh and a shake of the head.
