George Russell Turns Heads in One-of-17 Mercedes Supercar Before British GP originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

George Russell has conceded that Mercedes’ chances of a strong weekend at the British Grand Prix depend on cooler weather conditions. The highest-placed Mercedes driver in FP2 at Silverstone was Kimi Antonelli. The Italian was sixth-fastest in the final classification, over 0.5s down on McLaren’s Lando Norris.

George Russell says there’s an “exceptionally low” chance he’ll leave Mercedes next year even after he claimed the team was holding talks with Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen.
