MrBeast, real name Jimmy Donaldson, has built a reputation for wild collaborations with athletes and movie stars, but this time he has taken it up a notch. He brought in F1 star George Russell and even tried to outdo him in a reaction-time challenge, drawing laughs and reactions from the fans online.
Here’s what happened.
MrBeast takes on George Russell in a new challenge
The hilarious clip that’s blowing up online shows MrBeast and his crew going head-to-head with F1 ace George Russell in a reaction-time challenge.
The video kicks off with Nolan Hansen, one of Jimmy’s close friends, taking a jab at Russell, saying, “You ain’t that quick.” But the moment the buzzer hits, Russell smoked Hansen, proving once again that F1 drivers have the fastest reflexes.
Next up was Tareq, and Russell crushed him, too. Tareq had his hand poised on the button, ready to slam it the second the buzzer went. As for Russell, he was relaxed as ever, winning without even trying.
Then it was MrBeast’s turn. To raise the stakes, George Russell made a deal with him – if Jimmy could actually beat him at the reaction challenge, Russell would put a MrBeast sticker right on his racing helmet.
Perhaps that deal was just the motivation MrBeast needed because he actually managed to beat George Russell in the reaction challenge. Social media blew up, and the clip went viral. Some called Donaldson lightning-fast; others joked that Russell clearly let him win.
One fan even suggested Donaldson should give racing a shot, and George himself chimed in on the video, backing the idea and saying Donaldson might actually have what it takes behind the wheel.
Even Mercedes F1 got in on the joke, tagging George Russell and reminding him that a deal’s a deal. While it started as pure fun, there’s a real shot fans could actually see a MrBeast sticker on George Russell’s helmet as he tears through laps.
