Formula 1: Mercedes Confirm George Russell And Kimi Antonelli For 2026 Season
United States Grand Prix: Mercedes have confirmed that George Russell and Kimi Antonelli will form their Formula 1 driver line-up for the 2026 season, with the announcement coming on the eve of the United States Grand Prix weekend. The move secures continuity for the *eight-time World Champions, who currently sit second in the Constructors’ Championship with six races remaining in 2025.
Both Russell and Antonelli are products of Mercedes’ junior programme, and their performances this season have convinced Team Principal Toto Wolff to stick with the youthful pairing as the team prepares for F1’s next major regulation overhaul in 2026.
Confirming our driver line-up was always just a matter of when, not if,” said Wolff. “We wanted to take our time, handle the negotiations properly, and make sure everyone, on all sides, was happy. I’m pleased we have done that. George and Kimi have proved a strong pairing, and we’re excited to continue our journey together. Our focus is now on the final six races of the year, as we fight for second in the Constructors’, and onwards to 2026 and a new era in F1.”
