After the Bahrain Grand Prix, Formula 1 started discussing rumors about the possible transfer of Max Verstappen from Red Bull Racing to Mercedes. On Wednesday in Jeddah, George Russell was asked what he thought about the prospect of working with the three-time world champion.
“I’m in my third season with Lewis Hamilton, the best driver of all time, and I’m doing well,” said George. “So whoever turns out to be my partner next year and beyond, I welcome it, I welcome the challenge, because I always want to fight with the best.
Ultimately, I’m focused on my results. I believe in myself and believe that I can beat any rider. This requires the right mental attitude. Lewis has been my reference point over the years, and a pretty good one at that.
Every team wants to have the best riders on the roster, and right now Max is the best. If a team gets the chance to sign him, they will 100% take advantage of that opportunity.
I think the ball is now on the other side, on Max and Red Bull’s side. I don’t know what exactly goes on behind closed doors, but ultimately that’s none of our business right now. But it would be interesting.”
