George Russell has confirmed that he will be taking a further grid penalty this season, in addition to the one he has already been hit with for the Singapore Grand Prix.
The Formula One driver said the new penalty would affect his starting position in the upcoming races, although he did not specify which event it would apply to.
Russell’s earlier penalty for Singapore was a result of a regulation breach that has been common in the sport, such as exceeding the allotted number of power‑unit components or making an unapproved change to the car.
Grid penalties are a standard way for the FIA to enforce technical and sporting rules, and they can have a significant impact on a driver’s chances of a strong finish.
As the season progresses, teams and drivers will need to manage the additional setback while striving to remain competitive on the track.
