F1: George Russell won the Canada GP and, do you listen to offers for the future?
The English stayed with the victory in Montreal, six months after the expiration of his contract in Mercedes, and while his name is in dance. Max Verstappen and Kimi Antonelli completed the podium.
George Russell is in 2025, long, the best in the rest. Go ahead is the duo of McLaren, composed of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, followed by Max Verstappen. Behind that trio appears English, who does not belong to the select set for a technical issue: his Mercedes is not to fight with those of Woking. But Williams’s expilot is in a great season and arrived in Canada with four visits to the podium in the season (Australia, China, Baréin and Miami). He only lacked the victory, but for that a series of factors had to meet that finally gathered in the Canadian GP and allowed him to climb the highest podium step with a great triumph.
Beyond his very good 2025, and that he managed to win Lewis Hamilton in 2024 in the farewell season of heptacampeon in the plasta arrows, it seems that Russell has to continue paying exams. Lewis’s announcement of his move to Ferrari left the panorama open so that the 27 -year -old pilot was positioned as the number 1 of the German Team, the bow mask. However, Inside doors did not arrive immediate support. In fact, Toto Wolff, the director of Mercedes, took seven months to decide the replacement of Hamilton. In that period, the Austrian flirted publicly, and in private, with Max Verstappen. The Brackley team pope wanted to take the champion. When the Tanteo with the Dutch froze, the announcement of Kimi Antonelli came as headline and Russell, in addition, took the role of pilot 1. But …
Obviously there is some Russell that does not finish convincing. The Canada winner’s contract expires at the close of this season. And Wolff is waiting for Verstappen again. “To be honest, we have not had serious conversations because we have a more important goal right now: that our car goes faster. I know I will be in Formula 1 next year. My intention and objective is to stay in Mercedes and I think that is also Toto’s intention, “George said in the previous Montreal’s career. Nothing progress was made, everything is in the air. Wolff is waiting for something, Russell, obviously, is not the first option.
Wolff’s desire is Verstappen. The tetracampeón has a contract with Red Bull until 2028, but with output clauses that could shoot an earlier divorce. That expects the Austrian. And Russell? Meanwhile, it continues in a firm season. And now, he added a huge triumph in Canada. The English began to gesture its success with the great classification of Saturday, in which it signed the pole. Already in the race, he had a brilliant start on which he avoided any onslaught of Verstappen and then handled with total solvency. Mercedes like the clues with low degradation and the fresh climate, combo that F1 was found in Montreal. And Russell took advantage of it.
“It is incredible to be at the top, the last time we succeeded was in Las Vegas. I probably achieved the victory for the incredible return of the pole. The strength of our car lies in the coolest conditions. We’ll see what happens in the next races, but for now we will enjoy this, ”said Russell. And he is excited with Austria, the next appointment:” We won in Austria last year, so maybe it’s a good omen; We will enjoy it for now. We had great expectations for this weekend and left as expected, “he closed.
Russell responds on the track and shows his worth in each race, while his future is uncertain. If Toto continues to defoliate the Margarita, George can become an element of great desire for the rest. And there is Aston Martin, a team that also flirts with Verstappen, but who looks at Russell enthusiastically.
