Why Russell's F1 future is uncertain - despite his strong start to 2025


Listen Later

Why is George Russell’s Formula 1 future uncertain at a point where he’s performing better than ever for Mercedes? That’s a question we tackle in the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast.


Glenn Freeman and Ben Anderson join Edd Straw to discuss Russell’s performances and the factors that mean a new deal with Mercedes isn’t yet a foregone conclusion.


We look at the situation with Max Verstappen’s potential availability and the chances of Russell being displaced, and why Mercedes would consider making such a change.


And we also ask what Russell’s fallback plans might be and if there’s anything he can do to persuade Mercedes to put pen to paper.


We also look ahead to the Miami Grand Prix and McLaren’s chances of a fifth victory in six races, as well as answering listener questions related to Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.


In the final part of the podcast, we tackle questions from The Race Members’ Club on multiple topics, including the problems of the regulations, Isack Hadjar and Carlos Sainz.
