George Russell is turning the screws on Mercedes and Helmut Marko is happy to point it out.

Helmut Marko’s latest comments slam the door on any Max Verstappen-to-Mercedes fantasy whilst also heaping praise on Russell and push Toto Wolff to pay up for the privilege. With Red Bull granting Max more freedoms and more control over the car's technical direction, Mercedes are left with one clear team leader choice...yet it can't seem to square itself away!

Russell’s Montreal win and rookie mentor role make him the safest anchor for the 2026 rules reset to boot! Each delay dents garage morale plus it inflates Russell’s price and feeds rival narratives that Aston Martin or others could swoop. It all looks so messy. For Marko? This is revenge for Canada.
