Russell Likely to Stay; Verstappen Talks Continue
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has confirmed ongoing discussions with Max Verstappen about a potential future at Mercedes, but emphasized that George Russell is expected to remain with the team for the 2025 and 2026 seasons, with no delays in contract negotiations. Verstappen, under contract with Red Bull until 2028, remains a focus of speculation due to possible exit clauses and ongoing tensions within Red Bull. Wolff described talks with top drivers as standard practice for a championship-contending team and praised Russell’s performance. Both Wolff and Russell have downplayed any threat to Russell’s position, reinforcing his likely continued presence. The prospect of a Verstappen-Russell pairing at Mercedes is considered open for the future but unlikely for the next season. Verstappen has not committed to any move, keeping speculation alive.
