Mercedes has decided to stick with their current driver lineup, which includes Russell and Kimi Antonelli, before the regulation change. However, the article suggests that the length of the contracts has not been specified, leaving the door open for Mercedes to potentially pursue Red Bull's Max Verstappen in 2027. Russell, who has five race wins in his eight-season F1 career, has helped propel Mercedes into a fight for second place in the constructors' championship this year, behind the dominant Red Bull team.
