Earthquake at Mercedes, a real total escape ready: what is happening?
If it is not an “earthquake” in the world of Formula 1 then we don’t have much left. The fact is, however, that at home Mercedes things are definitely about to change. Apparently one is underway Revolution for next season. A 2025 who will definitely see someone like him outside the scenes Lewis Hamiltonmade official by Ferrari in the first days of the new year.
The British driver, however, is not the only one packing his bags as it could also be the turn of his current teammate, George Russell. In these last few hours there has been more and more talk about the future of the King’s Lynn native. A future increasingly distant from the German team. No small job that sees the team principal as the protagonist Toto Wolff who must face important decisions to redefine the structure and dynamics of the team.
Mercedes, not just Hamilton: Russell away too?
Arrived in 2022 Russell has always shown that he is up to the task and, above all, a very promising driver. Many of him focused, above all, on the differences with his colleague and compatriot. The same ones that have not gone unnoticed at all. There was even talk of a very tense relationship between the two parties. Especially with differences in driving style and competitive approach. Signs that could compromise harmony within the team.
With the imminent departure of the eight-time world champion it is thought that Mercedes may re-evaluate Russell’s future. And instead Wolff is even thinking of carrying out a real revolution within the team. In addition to Hamilton, Russell would also be ready to pack his bags. The team principal’s objective is to ensure important alignment within the team, with competitiveness and cohesion.
In the event that a farewell of the class of ’98 were to occur, then the first names of who could take his place will also begin to appear. The latest rumors lead to two great drivers as Lando Norris And Charles Leclerc. Young profiles who could seriously suit Mercedes. Although, at this moment, it is very difficult for the two to leave each other respectively McLaren that the Ferrari. The two teams, in fact, consider them untransferable and above all an integral part of their project.
