Russell opens up on Mercedes contract situation

Following his Canadian Grand Prix victory, George Russell addressed his contract situation with Mercedes, stating he isn't "pressing massively" for a new deal. With his current contract extending until late 2025, Russell emphasized that performance remains his top priority, asserting he has "zero reasons to be worried" given his consistent form. While Toto Wolff acknowledged Russell’s strong performances warrant a re-sign, he clarified the Montreal win didn't alter their assessment. Russell believes the delay stems from Mercedes needing to decide on both driver seats for the future. He also cautioned that their Canadian success might be a "one-off," expecting less dominant performances on hot, fast circuits like Austria.
