前哈斯F1车队负责人京特·施泰纳警告称，如果乔治·拉塞尔的低迷状态持续到2027年底，梅赛德斯可能会替换他。

前哈斯一级方程式车队领队京特·施泰纳警告称，如果乔治·拉塞尔到下一个赛季结束时仍表现低迷，梅赛德斯可能会调整其车手阵容。
尽管拉塞尔以明显热门身份进入2026赛季，但他的队友基米·安东内利在中国大奖赛和日本大奖赛背靠背夺冠后，成为领跑积分榜的最年轻车手。此后他本赛季已总共赢下九场大奖赛，并即将夺得个人首个F1世界冠军。
进入本周末的墨西哥大奖赛前，拉塞尔在年度积分榜上排名第二，落后安东内利123分。这位英国车手还面临身后车手的压力。法拉利的刘易斯·汉密尔顿仅落后一分排名第三，而积分榜第二到第五之间只相差九分。
施泰纳在《红旗播客》节目中表示，拉塞尔的问题更多在于信心而非赛车，并同意一种说法，即这位28岁车手的处境与丹尼尔·里卡多相似。
“我认为这更像是丹尼尔·里卡多式的情况，而不是刘易斯式的情况，”施泰纳说。里卡多在迈凯伦被兰多·诺里斯全面压制后，职业生涯再未恢复，并于2022年底被提前解除合同。

“我希望他能找回自己的路，因为丹尼尔（里卡多）不幸地没能真正找回状态，当时他被迈凯伦放弃后情况甚至变得更糟。那基本上毁了他，”施泰纳补充道。“但乔治身边有相信他的人，比如托托，这会有帮助。”
这位前车队负责人认为拉塞尔会受益于梅赛德斯老板托托·沃尔夫的支持，但他警告说，布拉克利车队不会永远等待。
“我认为到明年年底，如果他处于和现在相同的位置，梅赛德斯——而且这对托托来说不是个人问题——梅赛德斯会审视，‘我们这里需要做什么才能成为制造商世界冠军？’因为那是他们在这里要做的事，你不能因此责怪他们。
“如果乔治拿不出应有的表现，就会有所变动。我不是说他们正在积极推动变动，他们给了他时间，但如果情况没有起色，他们就会做出调整。”

Guenther Steiner warns Mercedes will make "changes" if George Russell struggles in 2027
Former Haas F1 boss Guenther Steiner has warned that Mercedes could replace George Russell if his struggles continue to the end of 2027
For Mercedes fans. All the latest from the Silver Arrows, with F1 news, driver updates, car development and race analysis from Brackley and Brixworth.
Former Haas Formula 1 team principal Guenther Steiner has warned that Mercedes could make changes to its driver line-up if George Russell is still struggling by the end of next season.
While Russell entered the 2026 season as a clear favourite, his team-mate Kimi Antonelli became the youngest driver to lead the standings after back-to-back wins at the Chinese and Japanese Grands Prix. He has since gone on to win nine grands prix in total this season and is on the verge of claiming his maiden F1 title.
Heading into this weekend's Mexican Grand Prix, Russell sits second in the championship, 123 points behind Antonelli. The Briton also faces pressure from those behind him in the standings. Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton is just one point behind in third, and only nine points separate P2 and P5 in the standings.
Speaking on The Red Flags Podcast, Steiner said Russell's problems were more about confidence than the car and agreed with a suggestion that the 28-year-old's situation resembled Daniel Ricciardo's.
"I think it is more a Daniel Ricciardo situation than Lewis," Steiner said. Ricciardo's career never recovered after he was outperformed by Lando Norris at McLaren and was released from his contract early at the end of 2022.

"I hope he can find his way back, because Daniel unfortunately didn’t really find his way back, because it even got worse for him when he was let go by McLaren at the time. That basically destroyed him," Steiner added. "But George having people around him who believe in him, like Toto, that will help."
The former team chief believes Russell will benefit from having the backing of Mercedes boss Toto Wolff, but he warned that the Brackley outfit would not wait forever.
"End of next year, I think, if he’s in the same position as now, Mercedes, and it’s not a personal thing for Toto, Mercedes will be looking, ‘what do we need to do here to be manufacturer world champion?’ because that is what they are here to do, and you cannot hold that against them.
"If George doesn’t bring the performance, there will be changes. I’m not saying that they are actively working for changes, they give him time, but if it doesn’t happen, they will make changes."
