George Russell: Now my future is in my hands

      One of the reasons for the lengthy talks over George Russell's contract with Mercedes was Toto Wolff's desire to limit its duration to one season in case Max Verstappen decides to change teams next year. In the end the contract was signed on a 1+1 basis, and George told The Telegraph that it guarantees his future.

      George Russell: "I hadn't spoken about this before, but there's a clause in the contract — if next year I reach a certain target, it automatically extends into 2027. So my future is in my own hands.

      Now I'm sure I won't be in the same situation as six months ago. If I succeed. I don't want to go into details, but if I succeed, I'll stay 100%. Now I'm sure I won't be lied to.

      Everything is falling into place. Actually I wanted to sign the contract back in October 2024, but this contract is considerably better than the one I could have signed then. So yes, you just have to believe in yourself."
