In a shocking turn of events, George Russell has been given a crystal clear ultimatum by Mercedes amidst swirling rumors connecting Max Verstappen to the team. Toto Wolff, the Mercedes team principal, has vehemently stated that Russell will not be left hanging for months awaiting a new contract, especially with the constant speculation surrounding a potential move for Verstappen.

Last year, Mercedes was heavily linked with Red Bull’s four-time F1 champion, Max Verstappen, following Lewis Hamilton’s unexpected announcement of leaving the team for Ferrari. Despite the rumors and occasional teasing by Wolff, Mercedes ultimately decided to sign Kimi Antonelli instead of Verstappen. However, with Russell’s contract set to expire at the end of this year, the ongoing Verstappen speculation has added a layer of uncertainty to the situation.

Wolff has assured that a new deal for Russell, who is currently in his fourth season with Mercedes, will be finalized promptly. He emphasized that there is no intention to draw out the process, stating, “There is 100 per cent alignment. There is no such thing as dragging this on because that’s not what we do.”

During an official FIA press conference, Wolff, alongside Williams team principal James Vowles and Aston Martin team boss Andy Cowell, reflected on Mercedes’ successful past. Describing the reunion as a “pinch me moment,” Wolff commended Vowles and Cowell for their contributions to the team’s glory years from 2014 onwards.

As the Formula 1 world eagerly awaits the resolution of George Russell’s contract saga, the spotlight remains on Mercedes and their strategic moves in the upcoming season. Will Russell secure a new deal swiftly, or will the Max Verstappen rumors throw a curveball into Mercedes’ plans? Only time will tell in this high-stakes game of F1 chess.
