George Russell’s future with Mercedes is uncertain as his contract is set to expire at the end of the 2025 season. The 27-year-old British driver has expressed openness to exploring opportunities with other teams if a new deal with Mercedes isn’t reached. Russell emphasized that any continuation must “make sense” for both parties, indicating flexibility amid potential shifts in the driver market .
Russell’s current contract, signed in August 2023, was an 18-month extension, leaving his seat potentially up for grabs after 2025. While Mercedes has shown interest in retaining him, the team is also considering promoting their junior driver, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who is viewed as a future star .
With several teams monitoring the situation, including Audi ahead of their 2026 entry into Formula 1, Russell’s performance in the upcoming season will be crucial in determining his next move.
