George Russell Proves His Mercedes Contract Should Already Be Signed
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. George Russell delivered an incredible drive for Mercedes at the Canadian Grand Prix, winning the race from pole position. Red Bull's Max Verstappen pushed Russell during the entire race, making the British driver earn the win. The race was tight throughout, with the gap between the top two staying within five seconds for most of the race. George Russell of Great Britain and Mercedes speaks in the FIA press conference following his race win during the F1 Grand Prix of Canada at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve on June 15, 2025 in Montreal, Canada. George Russell of Great Britain and Mercedes speaks in the FIA press conference following his race win during the F1 Grand Prix of Canada at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve on June 15, 2025 in Montreal, Canada. Photo byRussell kept his cool and managed his tires well, leaving pace in the reserves while pumping out impressive laps. When Russell ran into lapped cars, the gap got tighter, but Verstappen never managed to get within DRS range of Russell. "Amazing day for the team," Russell told Nico Rosberg after the race. "The strength of our car is in these cooler conditions. We did have high expectations and it worked as we thought. Good day, good day.'" Sunday's win is a stunning result that highlights how amazing Russell has been this season, consistently outperforming expectations and putting together consistent race weekends. His performances are so good, in fact, that it makes Mercedes' decision to delay renewing Russell's contract baffling. What is George Russell's contract status? According to Spotrac, the 27-year-old driver earns $15 million this season, but he is a free agent after this season. His teammate, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, has a team option for the upcoming season, and given all of the resources that Mercedes invested in developing the Italian, the team is likely going to keep him for the foreseeable future. Antonelli reportedly makes $2 million this season and would make the same amount this upcoming season if his option is picked up. Other teams can open negotiations with Russell, though Mercedes partly represents Russell since he went through their academy, making those talks somewhat tricky. Why hasn't Russell signed a contract extension with Mercedes? Mercedes holds all of the cards in the negotiations, especially since all indications are that Russell is set on staying with the team. Team boss Toto Wolff is a fan of Russell, supporting the driver since he was a teenager. Reports indicate Wolff is also an admirer of Verstappen and would be willing to do anything to get his hands on the Dutch driver. Red Bull went through leadership turmoil last season, while Wolff made several comments about wanting to sign Verstappen. The move never materialized last season, but it could be possible that Wolff and Mercedes are waiting to see if another opportunity opens up. Russell's contract status will likely remain in limbo until Verstappen makes his plans for next season clear. If Verstappen does eye a move away from his current team, Russell might end up going to Red Bull, especially since there are few available top team race seats. Russell staying and signing a long-term deal is the likeliest outcome, but nothing is secure in Formula 1.

Report: AC Milan eyes Tillman as Reijnders replacement Show Caption Hide Caption Weston McKennie discusses the state of the USMNT ahead of World Cup Soccer standout Weston McKennie discusses the state of the USMNT and how Mauricio Pochettino is getting the squad ready ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Sports Seriously Malik Tillman is a wanted man. According to AC Milan is considering the PSV midfielder as a possible replacement for Tijjani Reijnders, who joined Manchester City this week. But Milan isn't alone in its interest, with the report stating Bayer Leverkusen and Roma are also eyeing a move for Tillman. Much like at Milan, Tillman would be a replacement for a high-profile departure at Leverkusen. Germany international Florian Wirtz is on the brink of joining Liverpool in a British-record deal worth an eye-popping €137.5 million. PSV's asking price for Tillman will be between €25m and €30m. The 23-year-old has emerged as one of the top players in the Netherlands since joining PSV ahead of last season, leading the Eindhoven side to back-to-back league titles. Tillman scored a career-best 16 goals in 2024-25 despite missing two months at midseason with an ankle injury. He'll now aim to impress with the U.S. men's national team at the Gold Cup, where he is expected to play a prominent role with Mauricio Pochettino's side. Should he move to Milan, Tillman would join his USMNT teammate Christian Pulisic with the team. Another USMNT player, Yunus Musah, is reportedly on the verge of leaving Milan to join Serie A champion Napoli.
