George Russell is confident that Lewis Hamilton would not have opted to join Ferrari if he were aware of Mercedes' current form and future outlook. As Formula One's most decorated driver prepares to switch teams after a lackluster season, Russell remains optimistic about Mercedes' prospects.

Despite Mercedes' first season without a win since 2011, Russell highlights a recent turnaround. Hamilton clinched a record ninth victory at the British Grand Prix, while Russell himself triumphed in Austria. The duo also set fastest laps in Imola, Monaco, and Canada, signaling a potential resurgence.

The team's resurgence is attributed to the leadership of technical director James Allison. Russell believes Mercedes is back on track and that his own performance, including outqualifying Hamilton 10-2 this season, gives him confidence in contending for future world championships.
