Mercedes elected to keep working on Russell’s car overnight in bid to revert to old specification amid shortage of new parts
George Russell will start Formula 1's United States Grand Prix from the pitlane as the result of a parc ferme rules breach by Mercedes. The Briton had crashed out of Q3 at Austin on Saturday, badly damaging his W15 car after hitting the barriers at Turn 19. The impact destroyed a new upgrade package that Mercedes had brought to this weekend's race, and left it with a dilemma about what to do as there are no spare parts available for the new developments.
The one saving grace of this happening in Austin is that it is without automatic penalty because teams are allowed to change specifications on sprint weekends if it is proven that there are no spares available.
