'I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he did that.'
George Russell isn’t opposed to Max Verstappen joining him at Mercedes but says he also wouldn’t be “at all surprised” if the Dutchman took a year off in 2026 to evaluate the teams and their new power units.
Two years from now, Formula 1 will not only put revised cars on the grid but a new engine formula as the sport swaps to fully sustainable fuels and more electrical power. But as only time will tell if history repeats itself, Russell reckons rather than move to Mercedes in 2026, Verstappen could take a year out of the sport and see how that “lottery” plays out.“I had the biggest challenge of joining Mercedes against the greatest driver of all time statistically, in qualifying and in the race, and I performed against him, and that’s all I can do.
As for his thoughts on his own future, Russell has made it clear he wants to be a World Champion and he’d like it to be with Mercedes.
