George Russell is being considered as a potential driver to lead Aston Martin’s Formula 1 comeback in 2026, following the significant regulation changes in the sport. The team has enlisted designer Adrian Newey to create a competitive car under the new rules. Russell, currently with Mercedes, is a surprise contender for the role. Despite his contract ending soon, Russell remains focused on present races and is confident he will be on the grid next year, although talks with Mercedes are ongoing. Russell’s loyalty to Mercedes is clear, and both he and team principal Toto Wolff are optimistic about reaching a new agreement in due time. The paddock is eagerly anticipating how this potential move could reshape the F1 landscape in the coming seasons.
