The last few seasons have been some of the toughest since the formation of the Mercedes Formula 1 team.

No victory in nearly two years, and now staring down the barrel of a future without superstar driver Lewis Hamilton, things look bleak for fans of the team.

Internally, they are confident in their ability to rectify any issues with the all-new W15 concept brought this year, which has left them struggling for performance on-track.

But they are a long way from fighting for championships again and that could be part of the reason why Hamilton has decided to move to Ferrari in 2025 – knowing he may not have too many years left in him.

It’s not the first time Russell has done that either, having crashed on the final lap of the Singapore GP last season when he was on for a podium finish.
