George Russell feels there is no need for him to make a “sales pitch” to Mercedes about why he would deserve a dri꧂ve with its Formula 1 team, taking comfort in its decisions abℱout his future.

Mercedes junior꧋ Russell has impressed through his first half-season in F1 with Williams, step😼ping up off the back of his Formula 2 title victory in 2018.

Russell’s performances led to speculation ahead of the summer break that he could be ♕in contention to drive for Mercedes in 2020 alongside Lewis Hamilton.

The 21-year-old famously made a Powerpoint presentation to try and convince Williams to sign 🤪him for the 2018 season, but said he would not use a similar tactic to try and sway Mercedes F1 chief Toto Wolff on his future.

“No. Toto has all of the information at h𝐆is fingertips,” Russell🌳 said.

“I’ve known the guys making these deci𒅌sions for years, they know everything about me, so they don’t need a sales pitch.

ꦐ“Thღey just make the best decision for what they think is right for them.”

Wolff confirmed over the Hungary weekend that Russell was not a consideration for the vacant Mercedes seat in 2020, saying he did not want to “burn” the youngster 🐈too early in his F1 🍒career.

Ru🐭ssell said he was content that Mercedes would be able to take the best decisions for his F1 future moving forward, allowing him to focus on his on-tr꧅ack performances.

“I think what is really great is that I know one way or another, my future 🍰is secure, and I can just purely focus on the job at hand,” Russell said.

“I know previous drivers and their previous experiences have been contract negotiating during ra♔ce weekends, just before qualifying, talking about contracts, and what have you.

“In Mercedes, I’ve got a great management company. Their job is to make my life as easy as poss𓂃ible and to give me the chance just to focus🎃 on the job. That’s good."
