Mercedes offers Russell a new contract

      George Russell's contract with Mercedes expires at the end of 2025. In Suzuka in early April, the driver expressed confidence that he would continue to cooperate with the team, and now the British press has learned what offer George received from Mercedes.

      The team is offering Russell a new two-year contract with an option to extend it for a third year. Under the new agreement, the rider's salary will be $30 million dollars per year.

      Under the current contract, George gets $15 million per season. If his salary doubles, Russell will become one of the three highest-paid Formula 1 drivers, second only to Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.

      Officially, teams and drivers never comment on salaries.
