George Russell: My fate is in Mercedes' hands

      On Thursday at Spa, George Russell was again asked about where he will be racing in the next season...

      George Russell: "Everything will be decided in due time. Mercedes is handling my affairs, my destiny is in their hands. Discussions are underway, but not directly with me – there's much more noise about it in the newspapers than internally.

      Honestly, I don't even think about it. The constant questions from journalists in recent months have given me the opportunity to consider how to approach such a situation – whether to worry, trying to secure my future, or not to worry about it, focusing instead on speed and results that lead me into the future right now.

      These two weeks of rest have helped me reboot. Now I feel more comfortable than in recent months, I am at peace with everything happening. I just think about each race separately, and I am not rushing to secure my future."
