"It would be stupid"
Driver hammer? Red Bull makes Mercedes tremble
Does Mercedes suddenly have to fear for George Russell's future? Christian Horner caused a stir on the sidelines of the race in Singapore with a statement that Red Bull is courting the British Formula 1 driver.
"George Russell is out of contract at the end of next year. It would be stupid not to consider it," said Christian Horner in an interview with Sky Sports. Words that are causing quite a stir in the Formula 1 world. So apparently the Mercedes driver is also playing a major role in Red Bull's driver search.
Sergio Perez has a contract with Red Bull until the 2026 season, while Verstappen's is still valid until 2028. However, a secret clause is said to allow the Dutchman to leave early. Recently, there has been intense speculation about the future of the world championship leader.
"We have some great talent"
"We have given so many young riders a great opportunity over the years. We have some great talents," said Horner. These include Liam Lawson, Isack Hadjar and Arvid Lindblad. "We want to take the time to consider what the options are for the future." Could the choice ultimately fall on Mercedes star Russell?
