Red Bull team boss Christian Horner says his team “would be foolish” not to take George Russell “into consideration” for 2026.
While discussing who Red Bull is looking at to drive alongside Max Verstappen in 2026, team boss Christian Horner said the team is even considering Mercedes’ George Russell.
George’s current contract with Mercedes lasts until the end of 2025, but it is expected that the deal will be extended.
“Look, we’re not afraid to go out of the pool,” Horner said.

“George Russell is out of contract at the end of next year. It would be foolish not to take that into consideration.
“There are other drivers, talented drivers, that will be out of contract as well,” Horner concluded.
This comes after Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff publicly expressed his team’s interest in Max Verstappen on numerous occasions.
