Red Bull has informed Mercedes that George Russell is “obviously ready” for a chance in their car | F1 | Sports

When asked about the future of Red Bull next season, although Sergio Perez’s seat next to Max Verstappen has not yet been secured, Horner added: “Checo is doing a great job and doing exactly what we asked him to do. He took a podium, won a race and is third in the world championship.

“He’s doing a fantastic job, but we’re not halfway through the championship yet. But I think everyone in the team is satisfied and happy with what they do and also with their role as a team player. “

Those hoping for confirmation that Russell completed the Silverstone move this weekend will be disappointed.

Russell told the F1 Nation podcast, “I signed with Mercedes five or six years ago, that’s 100 percent true because everyone knows they care about me.
