George Russell crashed heavily in the early stages of FP2 in Mexico.
George Russell crashed his Mercedes heavily in Free Practice 2 for the Mexican Grand Prix, marking his second major impact in less than a week. During the Pirelli tyre test that is the second practice session, with just 13 minutes remaining, Russell spun broadside into the TecPro barrier at high-speed after getting on the kerb at Turn 8. Although he managed to exit the car, he was visibly in pain and was seen holding his ribs, prompting a swift transfer to the medical centre by the FIA medical car which was automatically deployed due to the g-sensor being triggered. This incident comes soon after Russell’s significant crash during qualifying for the United States Grand Prix the previous Saturday, where he wrecked Mercedes’ new upgrades.
