George Russell believes that Mercedes is at the "mercy of the weather" as the team attempts to recapture its form from last year's British Grand Prix - in which Lewis Hamilton secured his 104th Formula 1 victory.

George Russell made sure all eyes were on him even before he pulled on his helmet at Silverstone. The Mercedes star arrived for the British Grand Prix weekend behind the wheel of an ultra-rare Mercedes C111, a jaw-dropping machine that’s rarer than most people can even dream of seeing.

George Russell says there’s an “exceptionally low” chance he’ll leave Mercedes next year even after he claimed the team was holding talks with Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen.
