Is the F1 bombing viable that arrives from England? This is the situation of Russell and Verstappen

The season of Formula 1 But the ‘Silly Season’ for the 2026 season has already started. Everything seems to depend on the decision you make Max Verstappen: whether or not it moves from Red Bull. In the event that the Dutch decides to make his bags and leave Milton Keynes, the Austrians could be beginning to value options. Moreover, from England, specifically the medium ‘The race’, they pointed out that those of the energy drink They would have started talking to George Russell to be his pilot from next year.

It would be a movement that would undoubtedly shake the grill discharge in two teams that are reference today but it is not known if they have found the key for the change of equipment regulations. It would be a change with many unknowns but a lot of expectation in both cases. But how is it viable? What is the situation of both pilots currently?

Verstappen impatiently

The world’s tetracampeon is doing miracles to be able to continue grabbing in the fight for the title with the Red Bull against the McLaren. The Milton Keynes car is not as dominant as that of a few seasons and only Verstappen with superlative performances is keeping the pulse to those of Woking.

For this reason, many information in recent days are talking about the patience of the Dutch on Red Bull is running out and wants a winning project by 2026. Verstappen sealed a few years ago a Very long renewal until 2028 in exchange for about 50 million euros per season. Nevertheless, terminate the contract does not seem to be a chimera If there is no dynamic change.

With only five played races, only in Japan’s appointment was able to beat the McLaren and get the victory. For now It is third in the general classification to just 12 piastri pointsthe new World Cup leader since the last race in Saudi Arabia.

Mercedes’s option could attract Verstappen after it has been rumored that the Teuton propeller is the best located for the change of regulations next year. The option of ending at Aston Martin has also sounded in recent months, where he speculated that they would make him the best paid in history.

Russell ends contract

There is no hurry to sit at a table and talk about a renewal with Russell. At least said that Toto wolff A few days ago. Despite The news came that I could renew for two more seasons with the option of expanding even until 2028the truth is that the days go by and George’s contract It expires at the end of this 2025.

After Lewis Hamilton’s march to Ferrari, Russell became the leader of Mercedes and is surely signing the best season since he is in F1. In five played races he has climbed three times on the podium Without making a lot of noise. The problem is that W16 is far from being as fast as McLaren and fighting with Woking’s is complicated. But English is knowing how to get the maximum possible points in each situation. At the moment it is four in the World Cup at 26 Piastri points.

After demonstrating that he can lead a winning project, in case he left Red Bull, the British would be one of the most succulent pointers in the market. So thinking about an exchange is not crazy.

What is clear is that above all it depends on Verstappen. In Red Bull they know that retaining tetracampeon is key. We are talking about what the best pilot of the grill is considered by many and in case they would always be lost. But the decision is in the hands of Max. He is a pilot born to win and if he does not have the best weapons he will not hesitate to look for alternatives. They come to us a few months to summer the most moved.
