At long last, Mercedes has confirmed its driver line-up for the
2026 F1 season. George Russell and Kimi Antonelli will remain in
place for another season together, ending the speculation that has
long surrounded the seats. Max Verstappen was linked with a switch
to Mercedes for next year when fresh technical regulations will
come into play. However, the situation cooled towards the end of
the summer break, after which it became obvious that Russell and
Antonelli would remain in the seats. The matter was finally put to
bed on the eve of the United States Grand Prix weekend, with
Mercedes declaring the pair would remain with the squad in 2026.
But was it the right decision for the team? Should it have replaced
one of its drivers - or even more dramatically, replaced both? Have
your say below!
