168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell has reiterated his view that he’d “welcome anybody” to Mercedes as his new F1 teammate for 2025 provided the team 🐽is “push☂ing in the same direction”.

The identity of Russell’s teammate for next year i🌠s still unclear with Mercedes yet to make🏅 a decision.

Mercedes have been vocal in their pursuit of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen for next year, but given he has a contract until the e𓆏nd of 2028, that remains unlikely.

Andrea Kimi Antonelli, a Mercedes junior driver, reportedly remains the front-runner f📖or the seat.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz remains ꦰan option, but it looks li✃ke he will be forced to join Alpine, Sauber or Williams.

Speaking ahead of the British Grand Prix, 🧔Russell was asked specifically about the prospect of teaming up with Sainz.

He replied: “Yeah, I’d welcome anybody, to be honest. I’ve been lucky having Lewis for the last three years and we’ve had some great battles in the last couple of🐽 years.

“As a driver, I think it’s important you have a good relationship between the two of you, just to help that team momenඣtum and pushing in the same direction.

“But, ultimately, when you walk into your garage and put your helmet on, you jump in your car and it do♏esn’t really matter who’s sat in the seat alongside you.”

Russell has enjoyed a great year personally, taking Mercedes’ first win since 2022 last tim♏e out in Austria.

He's generally had the upper hand over168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton, leading 9-2 in the qualifying head-to-head.

However, he dismissed sugges🌌tions that he’s not been given enoughꦆ credit for his form this year. 

“No, not at all, to be honest. ꦆI think the results speak for themselves, and I don’t🤡 need to talk about it,” he added.

“As many drivers say, you do the talking on the track. I think this season’s probably one of the best I’ve ever had in terms of my own performance and꧒ grabbing the resul🍃ts when they’re coming.”

“Of course there’s a lot of talk about the second seat, but that’s normal, it’s exciting. Mercedes, one of the mos꧋t successful teams in the sport, and it’s a seat that many drivers want.

෴“It’s like the race last week, when there’s been a drama or a bit of action that’s where the talking should be, and that’s how it always will be.”
