How Mercedes’ 2025 season has played out so far

Mercedes currently sits third in the Teams' Championship after a mixed first half of the 2025 season. George Russell, now team leader, secured a dominant victory in Canada, converting pole position into a win, complemented by rookie Andrea Kimi Antonelli's first F1 podium in third. While Russell has generally outpaced Antonelli, the Italian impressively claimed a Sprint Qualifying pole in Miami, becoming F1's youngest to do so. A challenging European triple-header saw the team struggle, but reverting to an older suspension package in Hungary yielded a podium for Russell, suggesting a positive shift for the Silver Arrows as they aim to challenge Ferrari for second place.
