F1 news: George Russell questions Mercedes’ direction ahead of Hungarian GP

Since winning the 2025 Canadian Grand Prix, George Russell has failed to finish within the top four in the last three races.

Mercedes had started the season off decently, and Russell’s win in Montreal - paired with Andrea Kimi Antonelli’s first and only Formula 1 podium - suggested the Silver Arrows were on the rise.

But despite that boost and a steady stream of upgrades, the team appears to have lost momentum, reports Sports News Blitz’s deputy content editor Nicole Powell.
