Historical scoring systems and season lengths differ. Current-season rows are provisional, and each source may have its own update cutoff.
The deal in context
Public contract terms and salary estimates, with separate source dates.
Estimated annual salary
$34mUSD per yearMedia estimate published on 4 February 2026, in USD per year for the 2026 season. Excludes team bonuses, performance bonuses and personal sponsorships. Not an official salary disclosure; later contract changes are not reflected in this dated estimate.
2027 confirmed by driver
- Confirmed at least through
- 2027
- Announcement / source date
- 15 Oct 2025
The Mercedes renewal was announced in October 2025. Russell has since stated that he will race with the team in 2027 and described a multi-year agreement. Its final expiry and performance thresholds have not been disclosed.
Keep estimates in context. Salary figures are media estimates, not verified payroll or transfer valuations. A later contract announcement does not confirm an updated salary. A confirmed season is a minimum commitment, not necessarily the contract’s final year. Undisclosed terms remain undisclosed.

How to read this dossier
Profile statistics, historical results and simulation reports serve different purposes and can use different cutoffs. The research forecasts retain their own assumptions and dates. No missing statistic, private salary or undisclosed contract term has been filled with an invented value.
Career points span different points systems. Grand Prix wins and podiums exclude Sprint results. Race-log weekend points include Grand Prix and Sprint points. Entries and recorded race results can have different scopes; missing events are not zero-point results.
Current-season rows are provisional. Salary figures are dated media estimates, and a confirmed contract season is a minimum commitment rather than a guaranteed end date.
