Formula 1 title outsider Lando Norris and Mercedes driver George Russell have been fined and reprimanded for leaving the grid during the aborted start of the Brazilian Grand Prix.
“Lando Norris and George Russell were fined and reprimanded for leaving the grid during the aborted start of the Brazilian Grand Prix. They, along with Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson, left the grid without authorization, triggering other drivers to do the same. The stewards ruled that Norris and Russell’s actions affected other drivers, so they received a reprimand and a €5000 fine. Tsunoda and Lawson escaped without penalty. Despite this, all four drivers kept their finishing positions with no time penalties assigned. Additionally, Russell’s Mercedes team was fined €10,000 for adjusting tyre pressures on both cars after the aborted start. As a result, Norris is now 62 points behind race winner Max Verstappen in the title fight, while Tsunoda and Lawson maintain their positions in the final classification.”
