George Russell has revealed that some of his F1 rivals have been ‘making fun of’ the eye-catching silver jackets worn by the two Mercedes stars. The garments are produced by Adidas as part of the German clothing brand’s new deal with the Silver Arrows, and look to keep the Brit and Kimi Antonelli in optimal condition before track sessions.

George Russell believes that Mercedes is at the "mercy of the weather" as the team attempts to recapture its form from last year's British Grand Prix - in which Lewis Hamilton secured his 104th Formula 1 victory.
