Grid penalty for Russell after obstruction in pit lane
- Ludo van Denderen
George Russell has received a penalty for obstructing another car in the pitlane. The Mercedes Briton has to move back two places on the starting grid on Sunday. Sergio Perez, among others, also had to visit the stewards for this. Whether he will receive a penalty is still unknown.
So Russell will not start sixth on Sunday, but eighth.
