Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has made it clear that the team has every intention of retaining George Russell for the long term.

A Formula 1 star could drive for both Mercedes and McLaren due to a contract loophole. Two weeks ago, the 2025 F1 season started with a bang as the Australian Grand Prix took place in Melbourne.

Toto Wolff has shown some genuine excitement about Mercedes’ performance in the opening rounds of the 2025 F1 season.

Formula One may have to wait a decade for a return to screaming V10 or V8 engines and jettisoning the next generation V6 due to be introduced next year is simply not feasible, according to F1's former chief technical officer Pat Symonds.

Mercedes Formula 1 boss Toto Wolff has admitted suffering an embarrassing moment as he watched the action unfold at a recent race. Oscar Piastri led a McLaren one-two at last weekend's Chinese Grand Prix, ahead of Silver Arrows star George Russell, who continued his positive start to the campaign with a second consecutive appearance on the podium.

Although Tombazis agreed that “the train has left the station to a large extent” for 2026, he noted that talk about the ‘interim’ period was fueled by chatter in the wake of Ben Sulayem, the FIA president, calling for an evaluation of a future switch to V10s.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has insisted that it would be premature to label the team as a title contender in Formula 1, despite a promising start to the 2025 campaign. The German marque’s impressive opening to the season continued at the Chinese Grand Prix as George Russell made it successive podiums with another third place.

While other rookies and teams struggled in rainy Melbourne, Mercedes and their youngster emerged tied atop the standings.

Verstappen was able to fight for the title thanks to his considerable skill in the car. But the team lost out to both McLaren and Ferrari in the constructors' standings, something that will have had a very considerable impact upon the end-of-year bonuses for Red Bull's hundreds of employees.
