For the part of Russell in the proceedings, he explained that “things have to be corrected” while talking with reporters before the Race in Singapore. The conversation between Britain and his employer continues as the pair wants something that is “mutually beneficial”.
Russell said, “I think for any driver, when you reach a certain point in your career, things have to be corrected.” “Every time you renew a contract, this is the most important of your life and it is to be done with good care. There is nothing to worry about, and it will happen when it happens.”
Russell’s praise of Wolf shows that his F1 must be very low to worry about the future, only other unconfirmed seats for next year are with alpine or two red bull-supported outfits.
“He has been a warrior this year,” Wolf commented. “I did not see the mistakes. There were weekends that he himself said, ‘I could do more, and I was not a good race’ but it happens to any driver.
“You can see that when it is just merged, the car is in an ideal place, and the driver is at the top of things, it becomes a major formula, and that is what we have seen here.”
Russell left Singapore in fourth place after two wins in F1 drivers standing and six podium finish in 2025.
