George Russell has been hit with a two-place grid penalty after the stewards deemed that he didn’t follow the race director’s instructions.
The FIA announced a ban on drivers waiting in the pit lane during qualifying for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix this weekend. Max Verstappen and other drivers have previously used this tactic to create a gap before starting their hot laps in qualifying. Unfortunately, George Russell became the first driver to break this new rule and received a two-place grid penalty. The stewards noted that Russell did not stay completely to the left while going slow to create a gap, preventing the following cars from overtaking. As a result, Russell will start the race from eighth on the grid.
