George Russell facing anxious wait to discover if he has Mercedes seat next year
George Russell's wait for his Formula One future to be confirmed is set to extend until at least next month's summer break. Max Verstappen's break clause from his Red Bull contract can no longer be activated after his fourth-placed finish at Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix ensured the Dutchman will not be lower than third in the world championship when the sport enters its mid-season shutdown. Mercedes have made little secret of their desire to sign the four-time world champion. As it stands, Russell – who despite a series of impressive performances this year – is without a deal for 2026. Lights, camera, action 🎬 Ready to go racing in Hungary! 🇭🇺 — Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team (@MercedesAMGF1) July 28, 2025 Mercedes, however, would now be forced to buy Verstappen out of his Red Bull contract which runs until 2028 – and that could accelerate their decision to announce Russell will be retained. But the PA news agency has been told by a source there are no plans for an official update on the British driver's future prior to Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix. A three-week break follows before the next round in the Netherlands on August 31. Despite the continued speculation surrounding suggestions Verstappen could trade Red Bull for Mercedes, those close to the Russell camp have indicated for a number of weeks the 27-year-old is extremely confident of striking a contract extension. And it would appear highly unlikely that a new deal with Mercedes will not be finalised. Russell finished fifth on Sunday but Mercedes endured a difficult weekend in the Ardennes. Russell's rookie team-mate Kimi Antonelli's dismal run of form continued after he crossed the line in 16th. The 18-year-old has scored points in just one of his last seven appearances. He was close to tears after qualifying on Saturday, admitting he was struggling with his confidence. Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton went to see Kimi Antonelli before Sunday's race (Yves Herman/AP) That prompted a visit from Lewis Hamilton to the Mercedes motorhome ahead of Sunday's race to offer the driver who replaced him some words of encouragement. Hamilton started in the pit lane and drove from 18th to seventh but Antonelli – who also begun the rain-hit race from the pits – laboured and finished 52 seconds behind team-mate Russell. Russell has scored 157 points to Antonelli's 63 after 13 of the 24 rounds. Mercedes are third in the constuctors' standings, 296 points adrift of McLaren.

Granit Xhaka closes in on move to Sunderland after £17m deal agreed with Bayer Leverkusen
Granit Xhaka is closing in on a move to Sunderland after they agreed a £17m (€19.58m) deal with Bayer Leverkusen for the former Arsenal midfielder. Xhaka has been eager to return to the Premier League and now has his wish after Sunderland agreed to pay £13m (€14.9m) upfront for the 32-year-old Switzerland international, with the remaining £4m (€4.6m) made up of add-ons. All going well, Xhaka will sign a three-year deal with Régis Le Bris's newly promoted side. Leverkusen's head coach, Erik ten Hag, was keen on keeping Xhaka at Leverkusen having already lost Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Jonathan Tah this summer. Xhaka was also part of the side that won the German double and reached the Europa League final in 2024. He was also an integral member of the team that finished second to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga last season, as well as featuring 10 times in the Champions League. Le Bris wanted to add greater Premier League experience to his midfield and had enquired about the availability of Jordan Henderson before the former Sunderland player elected to join Brentford after leaving Ajax. During Xhaka's seven years at Arsenal he won the FA Cup twice and, overall, made 297 appearances for the club. Xhaka would become Sunderland's seventh signing of the summer, following in the footsteps of Habib Diarra, Noah Sadiki, Simon Adingra. Chemsdine Talbi, Reinildo Mandava and Enzo Le Fée. Of the new arrivals only Adingra has prior Premier League experience having made 60 appearances for Brighton. Meanwhile, Xhaka's fellow Swiss international Dan Ndoye remains a target for Nottingham Forest, who are working on a deal to sign the winger from Bologna. Talks between both clubs have taken place in recent weeks and there is optimism a deal can be agreed for a player who is keen on moving to England. Guardian
