George Russell says Lewis Hamilton’s engineer Peter Bonnington – Bono has been “an integral part of the team’s success for so, so many years, and even before the Mercedes days, back at Brawn as well”.

Last week it was announced that Lewis Hamilton’s engineer Peter Bonnington – Bono will remain with Mercedes in 2025, and will be promoted to Head of Race Engineering.

George Russell was asked to comment on this news.

“Yeah, I mean, Bono’s been obviously an integral part of the team’s success for so, so many years, and even before the Mercedes days, back at Brawn as well,” the Briton said.

“And, you know, it’s great news that he’s staying on with us next year. Obviously, there’s a lot of rumours and speculation about if he would go with Lewis.

“But, I think there’s only a real benefit to me having that promotion for Bono. It’s almost having an extra set of eyes overlooking the work we’re doing.

“I think he’s only going to strengthen our squad even further,” Russell concluded.
