George Russell’s Contract Status
Mercedes F1 driver George Russell is unfazed by his expiring contract as he enters the 2025 season following Lewis Hamilton’s departure to Ferrari. With three podium finishes in four races, reports suggest he is nearing a new two-season deal with an option for a third, yet Russell emphasizes that performance is key in F1 and that he remains focused on racing rather than contract discussions. He acknowledges the sport’s competitive nature, stating that contracts mean little without performance guarantees and that all he can do is concentrate on driving fast at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
