“Obviously, as a team, we’re going through a bit of a difficult period. And obviously, I believe in the team, Toto believes in the team and everyone there [believes in the team].
“But Lewis, he’s achieved so much he doesn’t need to continue, but he clearly believes as well that the team has got unfinished business. So that’s a huge vote of confidence for everybody who works at the team.
“So [I’m] definitely happy to continue together,” Russell concluded.
