Mercedes will continue with George Russell and Kimi Antonelli as their driver line-up for the 2026 Formula 1 season.
The announcement, which the team had been saying for weeks was a foregone conclusion, comes on the eve of the United States Grand Prix weekend, and 10 days after Russell's dominant win in Singapore.
Team principal Toto Wolff said: "Confirming our driver line-up was always just a matter of when, not if.
"We wanted to take our time, handle the negotiations properly and make sure everyone, on all sides, was happy. I'm pleased we have done that.
