FIA issue official announcement as Mercedes F1 car summoned at Imola Grand Prix
Mercedes had one of their Formula 1 cars summoned for a routine car presentation procedure by the FIA before the Imola Grand Prix, along with cars from Haas and Aston Martin.
George Russell’s W16 was randomly selected for this procedure and will be on display alongside the other selected cars during the race weekend.
Despite prior concerns, the summoning of Russell’s car is just a standard procedure that gives the media and paddock personnel a chance to examine the cars up close.
Mercedes, like other teams, have brought upgrades to the Imola circuit as the European leg of the 2025 F1 World Championship kicks off.
Russell, aiming to continue his strong performance, is currently leading Mercedes’ charge in the championship alongside rookie Kimi Antonelli, with the team challenging McLaren for the constructors’ title.
