A legendary former F1 team boss believes George Russell will veto Mercedes signing Carlos Sainz.
That is according to former F1 team boss Eddie Jordan, who reckons Russell will be applying pressure on Mercedes boss Toto Wolff to avoid picking Sainz asHamilton is leaving Mercedes at the end of the year in order to join Ferrari, where he will take the place of Sainz, who has been linked with the likes of Mercedes and Red Bull in recent weeks.
“Toto is hard to pin down and he plays a very good poker hand,” Jordan said on the Formula For Success podcast. “Toto has to be careful, because he manages George Russell. For sure George Russell will not want Carlos Sainz in that car. “I happen to believe, and I have no reason to say this, but I do believe Lance Stroll will stop this year,” Jordan explained.
