George Russell is open to having Max Verstappen as a future teammate at Mercedes, saying: “You don’t need to be best mates as teammates.”
Verstappen has been linked with a move away from Red Bull over recent months after enduring a frustration season in the shadow of McLaren’s dominance. The four-time world champion has dragged himself back into title contention but trails championship leader Lando Norris by 36 points going into the final four races of the season.
