In a dramatic twist to the Formula 1 season, Mercedes have officially confirmed that George Russell will not participate in the upcoming Canadian Grand Prix following a fresh penalty issued by the FIA. The announcement has sent shockwaves through the F1 paddock, with fans expressing disappointment over the sudden development.
The FIA handed Russell a significant penalty after reviewing his actions during the previous race weekend, citing a breach of sporting regulations. Despite Mercedes’ initial appeal, the stewards upheld the decision, forcing the team into an unavoidable withdrawal of their British star driver from the Montreal showdown.
Speaking after the confirmation, a senior Mercedes spokesperson stated: “It’s a tough moment for the team and for George. We respect the FIA’s decision, but we’re obviously disappointed to miss out on his participation in Canada. We’ll regroup and focus on the next race.”
Russell, who has been in competitive form this season, now faces a frustrating setback in his bid for a strong championship position. As Mercedes reshuffles their strategy, all eyes will be on Lewis Hamilton to carry the team’s hopes at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
