FIA summon Russell for ‘doping test’ after Baku drama
After the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Mercedes F1 star George Russell was reportedly summoned by the FIA for a ‘doping test’. Despite feeling unwell due to a respiratory infection, Russell finished P2 in his W16. Following his podium finish, he was swiftly escorted for the test through the paddock by a Mercedes team member. The FIA can request drug testing for any F1 driver without prior notice, in line with WADA regulations. Notably, reigning champion Max Verstappen recently underwent a drug test post-qualifying at the Italian GP. No F1 driver has been found in violation of anti-doping regulations, ensuring integrity in the sport.
