George Russell's Response to F1 Speculation
George Russell has dismissed the impact of speculation about his F1 future with Mercedes, saying it goes "in one ear, out the other".
Ahead of the United States Grand Prix, Mercedes announced new deals for both Russell and Kimi Antonelli, following an unusual delay in finalising Russell's contract.
Mercedes had explored the possibility of bringing Max Verstappen to the team, but he confirmed he would remain at Red Bull for 2026 before the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Russell was seeking longer-term security and fewer media commitments ahead of a potential first F1 title challenge in 2026.
In one ear, out the other
Russell's new contract was finally signed after several months of waiting, along with Antonelli's.
