"For 2026 the PU ꦍ[power unit]'s looking really strong and everything we're doing with the fuels is looking great and there's a lot of optimism for us over the next couple of years," he continued.

"But 𒀰of course if the team you're currently with are winning races and everything is looking super great for the future, you just want to be ဣin the fastest car possible and it doesn't matter what colour that is.”
Russell praisedꦓ Mercedes’ turnaround in competitiveness, saying “it just kind of feels like the Mercedes o♛f years ago”.

"It's never one person but just having James taking all the ideas and steering in the right direction and empowering the 𝓰people to go and do it has been 💖great."
