George Russell, after spending three seasons with Williams, was promoted to a Mercedes seat in 2022 to partner with seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton. The partnership coincided with a major overhaul in the technical regulations, which led to a halt in Mercedes’ domination on the grid, with only five wins in the last three seasons. Despite Russell’s success with three wins, including two in 2021, Mercedes has not provided him with the tools to challenge for a championship. Russell, aged 26, remains confident and ready to enter a new chapter in his career, acknowledging the younger generation entering the sport. With new teammate Andrea Kimi Antonelli, 18, joining Mercedes in 2025, Russell embraces his role as the more experienced driver but is optimistic about Antonelli’s potential.
