Mercedes has confirmed George Russell as Lewis Hamilton’s Formula One teammate from 2022. The all-British lineup was speculated on for months, and signalled on Monday by Valtteri Bottas’ move from Mercedes to Alfa Romeo next year. Russell is 23 and says he’s “absolutely buzzing.” Russell received a long-term contract but Mercedes did not elaborate.
