George Russell, back-and-forth between Red Bull and Mercedes

The words of Toto Wolff

In the world of Formula 1, the future of George Russell is also holding court. Indeed, the Mercedes driver è ended up in the crosshairs of Red Bull, which is still trying to figure out what will become of Max Verstappen.

Christian Horner to F1.com’s precise question answered thusì "We have several very good drivers in our nursery such as Liam Lawson, Isack Hadjar and Arvid Lindblad, but we should not be afraid to look further. George Russell è expiring at the end of 2025 and it would be foolish not to consider him as wellì as we will evaluate all the other valuable pilots who will be expiring".

Toto Wolff’s response, from the pages of the Daily Mail, was not long in coming: “Horner always likes to sow discord. Russell è has been, è and I hope always will be; a Mercedes driver. He has a long contract with us".
