George Russell says it would be 'really exciting' to have Lewis Hamilton as his Mercedes team-mate for a few more years. F1
That does, of course, depend on Hamilton agreeing to extend his contract with the team – and Russell not doing anything to jeopardise his own position.
“It’s really exciting to have that potential of Lewis staying on for a number of years to come,” said Russell. “So I think we’ve got a really great relationship, a transparent relationship, and [it would] be great to be team-mates for a number of years to come.”When it comes to drivers you sense that, of the top teams, Mercedes are consistently the most assured about who they want in their line-up.
At the end of 2021 though, the time was right to say thanks and goodbye to Bottas as Russell was ready to take his place – he has proven as much this season with a hugely consistent set of results, finishing 17 of the 20 races so far between second and fifth positions.
