George Russell is focused on improving Mercedes’ fortunes in 2025 rather than worrying about his contract renewal with the team. He is not concerned about the potential pursuit of Max Verstappen by Mercedes, as their contracts expire at the end of the year. Russell aims to develop into a team leader following Lewis Hamilton’s departure to Ferrari, while young driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli is seen as the future of the team. Talks about Russell’s contract extension have been postponed as the team prioritizes performance in 2025. Verstappen has a contract with Red Bull until 2028, but there are reported clauses that could allow him to leave in 2026 if certain conditions are not met. Mercedes is keeping its options open regarding driver choices, with Russell expressing confidence in his place within the team.
