Driver 1: George Russell
Driver 2: Andrea Kimi Antonelli
George Russells contract is set to expire at te end of the 2025 season, so he is secure of a seat until at least the end of 2025. But the big question of the year was: who is gonna replace Hamilton who is leaving for Ferrari? Several names were mentioned in this discussion such as Alex albon, Carlos Sainz, Kimi Antonelli, and even Max Verstappen.
Eventually, during the Grand Prix weekend in Monza, it got announced that Kimi Antonelli will be taking the seat in 2025. While Hamilton is moving to Ferrari, Peter Bonnington (Bono) will be staying at Mercedes, get a promotion to Head of Race Engineering and likely be Antonelli’s race engineer. Thus, that iconic duo will be split up.
