Mercedes driver George Russell will start Sunday’s Brazilian Grand Prix after being found guilty of an infringement in qualifying at Interlagos.

George Russell has been given a two-place grid penalty for impeding in the pit lane at the São Paulo Grand Prix. This penalty comes after a directive was issued by the FIA Race Director, stating that drivers cannot stop in the fast lane to create a gap. Russell failed to comply with this directive during Q1 and will now start the race from eighth on the grid. The stewards’ report stated that Russell did not stay as far to the left as possible, preventing other drivers from overtaking. This violation goes against the instructions given by the Race Director.
