The FIA has officially confirmed a major grid shake-up ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix following a series of post-qualifying penalties. In a stunning twist, Mercedes star George Russell has been promoted to pole position, taking advantage of the dramatic reshuffling caused by penalties handed to rival drivers.
Several top contenders, including Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and McLaren’s Lando Norris, were slapped with grid drops for separate infringements during qualifying, opening the door for Russell to lead the pack on Sunday.
The announcement has sent shockwaves through the paddock, with Russell now perfectly placed to chase his first win of the season. Mercedes will be hoping to capitalize on the unexpected advantage as they look to close the gap in both championship standings.
More developments expected as teams react to the FIA’s late ruling.
