George Russell (#63) remains the future of Mercedes, steadily proving his credentials as a race-winning driver since joining the team in 2022. Known for his smooth driving style and meticulous racecraft, Russell has emerged as a formidable competitor, capable of taking on the best drivers on the grid. His first win at the 2022 São Paulo Grand Prix showcased his ability to manage pressure and execute flawless drives.

With Lewis Hamilton departing for Ferrari, Russell is now the senior driver at Mercedes, tasked with leading the team back to title contention. Partnering with rookie Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Russell will look to establish himself as a genuine championship contender and solidify his place as the face of the Silver Arrows for years to come.
