According to Eviralnews and quoted by JBlog, George Russell responded to the rumors about the connection of Max Verstappen, the Dutch driver of Red Bull Austria, with Mercedes-Benz, which will probably threaten his position in this team.
Previously, some Formula One experts, including former Mercedes-Benz driver and 2016 champion Nico Rosberg, expressed concern that if the German team could reach an agreement with Verstappen for 2026, a tough confrontation between Russell and Kimi Antonelli (the new Mercedes-Benz driver) ) will occur next year.
“To be honest, we didn't talk about it at all,” said George Russell. I have been with this team for a long time and the management always says that we will continue to work together for a long time. There are a lot of conversations going on at the moment, some news are very interesting, but I'm not focused on them as a team driver.
