George Russell has hit out at Red Bull for their decision to protest against his Canadian Grand Prix victory, calling it a "waste of everybody's time". The Mercedes driver revealed that the hearing, which saw Red Bull 's complaints about his "unsportsmanlike behaviour" rejected, resulted in Mercedes staff missing their flights home.

Don’t expect an announcement of a new Mercedes contract in the wake of George Russell’s Canadian GP win, as Toto Wolff says an extension is not dependent on his results. After all, Mercedes already know that the four-time Grand Prix winner can get the job done.

Mercedes driver George Russell defeated Max Verstappen at Formula 1's Canadian Grand Prix to claim his first win of the 2025 season, while Lando Norris retired after contact with McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri.
