Mercedes and Red Bull might be fighting hard for Formula 1 supremacy on track, but tensions between the teams off the track continues to escalate. Show

It was a case of mixed emotions for Lewis Hamiton as he finished second in the Mexico Grand Prix on Sunday.

With the title fight getting tighter, Horner has admitted to enjoying making Wolff squirm, but the latter has denied feeling any pressure.

When the weekend began, the Mercedes drivers appeared to be in good shape, lapping nearly a second faster than Verstappen in first practise.

Russell’s promotion to Mercedes, where he will replace the Alfa Romeo-bound Valtteri Bottas, is a huge step forward.

Russell has recently scored points in four of the last five Grand Prix, propelling him to 15th in the drivers' standings this year.

Valtteri Bottas will leave Mercedes as a key part of the side who won four constructors championships. But Alfa Romeo will pose a challenge.

George Russell has been confirmed as Lewis Hamilton's new team-mate at Mercedes from the Formula 1 2022 season.

After missing out on pole position to Max Verstappen at the Dutch Grand Prix, the Mercedes team are already busy working on a strategy to beat the racer.

Mercedes are 12 points ahead of Red Bull while Lewis Hamilton is just eight ahead of Max Verstappen at the moment.
