George Russell's fourth consecutive F1 season in 2025 is his first as Mercedes' senior drive.

Russell will spearhead Mercedes’ title bid in 2025 following Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari. He has teamed up with 18-year-old wonderkid Andrea Kimi Antonelli in 2025.

But his future is shrouded in doubt. Russell's contract expires at the end of 2025 and, amid Mercedes' purported interest in Max Verstappen, a new deal is no guarantee.

George Russell out-scored Lewis Hamilton

2024 was Russell’s best F1 season to date as he dismantled teammate Lewis Hamilton. Russell beat Hamilton 19-5 in the teammate head-to-head, while he outscored the seven-time world champion across the 24 races.

Russell’s F1 career started at Williams in 2019, following back-to-back GP3 Series (now Formula 3) and Formula 2 titles. Unfortunately for Russell, 2019 was Williams’ worst year in terms of performance.

By 2020, Russell soon showed he had the pace and potential to be a Mercedes driver of the future. With the Williams package more competitive, Russell challenged for points on numerous occasions but narrowly missed out. 

His big chance came at the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix, where he was driving for Mercedes in place of Hamilton. Russell led the majority of the race ahead of Valtteri Bottas, but a blunder during the second round of pit stops from Mercedes cost Russell the win.

Russell recovered up to second, behind Sergio Perez, and looked like he could have still won the race despite the pit stop blunder, but a puncture dropped him back down the order. Despite showing he was ready to be at Mercedes, he would have to wait until 2022 to get a chance.

Russell became the first driver since 2016 (Nico Rosberg) to outscore Hamilton across a season, beating him in 2022 and taking his maiden F1 victory at Interlagos. 2023 proved to be Russell’s most difficult season with Mercedes, finishing a disappointing eighth in the standings.

The Briton hit back in 2024 with a series of outstanding drives as he was comfortably the lead Mercedes driver across the year. He won in Austria after inheriting the lead following Max Verstappen’s clash with Lando Norris, while he dominated the Las Vegas Grand Prix from pole position.
