168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell has reiterated his view that he’d “welcome anybody” to Mercedes as his new F1 teammate for 20𓆏25 provided t💜he team is “pushing in the same direction”.

The identity of Russell’s teammate for next ෴year is still unclear with Mercedes yet to make a decision.

Mercedes have been vocal in their pursuit of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen for next year, but 🧸given he has a contract until the end of 2028, that remains unlikely.

Andrea Kimi Antonelli, a Mercedes junior driver, reportedlyꦫ remains the front-runner for the seat.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz remains an option, but it looks like he will be forced to j𒊎oin Alpine, S🐓auber or Williams.

Speaking ahead of the British Grand Prix, Russell was asked s𒊎pecifically about the prospect of teamiꦦng up with Sainz.

He replied: “Yeah, I’d welcome anybody, to be honest. Iဣ’ve been lucky having Lewis for the last three ye♑ars and we’ve had some great battles in the last couple of years.

“As a driver, I think it’s important you have a good relationship b♚etween the two of you, just to help that team momentum and pushing in the same direction.

“But, ultimately, when you walk i🦩nto your garage and put your helmet on, you jump in your car and it doesn’t really matter who’s sat in the seat alongside you.”

Russell has enjoyed a great year personally, taking Mercedes’ first win since 2022 last ti🐷me out in Austria.

He's generally had the upper hand over168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton, leading 9-2 in the qualifying head-to-head.

However, he dism✃issed suggestions that he’s not been given enough credit for his form this year. 

“No, not at all, to be honest. I think the results speak for themselves, and 🔜I don’t need tಌo talk about it,” he added.

“As many drivers say, you do the talking on the track. I think this season’s probably one of the best I’ve ever had in terms of❀ my own performance and gr𒐪abbing the results when they’re coming.”

“Of ♊course there’s a lot of talk about the second seat, but that’s normal, it’s exciting. Mercedes, one of the most successful teams in the sport, and it’s a seat that many drivers want.

“It’s like the race last week, when there’s been a drama o🅘r a bit of action that’s where the talking should be, and that’s how it always will be.”
