Verstappen to Mercedes: Is Russell the ideal successor at Red Bull?:

— If Max Verstappen were to join Mercedes, George Russell emerges as a potential replacement at Red Bull. Despite not being the typical outspoken character Red Bull favors, Russell's speed makes him a strong candidate for the team.

— Red Bull's options for 2026 are limited, with many drivers already contracted. Alexander Albon and Carlos Sainz are committed to Williams, leaving Red Bull with few alternatives. The team faces challenges with engine development and the absence of Adrian Newey.

— Red Bull aims to groom Arvid Lindblad for a 2026 debut, needing an experienced driver like Russell to guide him. Russell's presence would provide a strong benchmark, complementing Lindblad's potential as a future star.

— At Racing Bulls, Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson continue to develop, ensuring a pipeline of talent. Red Bull's strategy involves balancing experienced drivers with emerging talent to maintain competitiveness.

— For Russell, Red Bull might be the best option if Mercedes opts for Verstappen. With limited vacancies elsewhere, Red Bull offers a competitive seat, despite Russell's current trust in a Mercedes future.

— Alpine and Cadillac present alternatives for Russell, but Alpine's internal issues and lack of top-tier facilities make it less appealing. Red Bull's established infrastructure and competitive edge could sway Russell's decision.
