George Russell shared a steamy smooch with his bikini-clad girlfriend Carmen Montero Mundt on a romantic yacht trip in Sardinia, Italy on Monday.
The Mercedes Formula One driver jetted off on a relaxing Italian getaway before he returns for the Dutch Grand Prix after a three week summer break.
The loved-up couple looked completely smitten as they larked around during watersports.
George and Carmen packed on the PDA later in the day after a fun-filled day in the sun.
The shirtless hunk showcased her ripped physique in navy swimshorts, while Carmen flashed her abs in a skimpy yellow bikini.
The 27-year-old first came across fashion influencer Carmen, when the Spaniard had been set to meet a friend of his for a date in 2020.

‘My mate couldn’t make it, so I thought I’ll swing along to see how it goes,’ Russell told The Sun.
‘She told me she’s from the south of Spain and she wouldn’t ever expect someone to know the small place she’s from.
‘I knew exactly where she was from, so it was quite coincidental.’
The pair quickly bonded, with George having spent a significant amount of time in the city of Jerez in southern Spain where Carmen hails from during his karting days.
However, while Carmen has now become one of George’s biggest supporters, faithfully following his globe trotting exploits, she was not initially aware of his profession.
He continued: ‘I’m so fortunate with Carmen because we met before the craziness of F1. We met organically and it wasn’t a set up.
‘She didn’t know who I was, she didn’t know F1 and wasn’t even bothered by any of that. She is a very down-to-earth individual and we share values.
‘She’s such a hard worker, wants to achieve so much and she really recognises what it takes in my position to be at this level. Having her on this journey means an awful lot to me because even though we are living our dream it can be a lonely lifestyle.

There had been some nagging doubts about his future with the constructor but George is set for a bumper payday, more than doubling his current £12m-a-year package
George’s incoming raise will remain well short of Max Verstappen and Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton – each on about £60m a year
While he does not yet have the achievements or global fanbase to garner such earnings, his win in Canada and domination over team-mate Kimi Antonelli this season point to his consistent form
His net worth is currently estimated to be in the region of £15m, though clearly that is set to increase substantially in the next few years
