George Russell has dismissed the impact of continued speculation about his F1 future with Mercedes, stating it goes "in one ear, out the other".
Ahead of the United States Grand Prix, Mercedes announced new deals for both Russell and Kimi Antonelli, following an unusual delay in finalising Russell's contract.
The delay was partly due to Mercedes exploring the possibility of bringing Max Verstappen to the team. However, Verstappen confirmed he would remain at Red Bull for 2026 before the Hungarian Grand Prix.
