Sky Sports News understands talks between Mercedes and Russell have been advancing towards a multi-year deal which would see him stay at the team until at least the end of 2027.
"George is a Mercedes driver and Kimi as well. They are part of the team, part of the structure," Wolff told Sky Sports F1 at Zandvoort.
"Where we are is formalities. How can we optimise his performance, his marketing days, his travel? These are not trivial things. We have started to sit down and put our heads together to discuss that. [It is] a formality."
