Russell replied to the fan and also revealed that he and Wilt Chamberlain raced across the country.
“.@Lamborghini 400GT. If the seat was all the way back I could not touch the pedals. I used to race Wilt in his @Maserati_HQ Ghibli. Don’t ask who won, you know the answer," Russell replied.
He added: “Did I mention we raced across country.”
