In a dramatic twist after the Canadian Grand Prix, the FIA has officially announced that George Russell’s recent victory is now under review following a formal protest lodged by Red Bull Racing. The protest, submitted late last night, challenges the legality of Russell’s car during the race, specifically focusing on potential technical infringements related to track limits and car setup.
Sources close to the situation reveal that Red Bull has presented fresh evidence suggesting that Russell may have gained a lasting advantage during a key phase of the race. The FIA has confirmed that a full investigation is now underway and has not ruled out the possibility of withdrawing Russell’s win if the allegations are upheld.
Mercedes, meanwhile, has expressed full confidence in their compliance with regulations, insisting that Russell’s victory was achieved fairly on merit.
A decision is expected within the next 48 hours, leaving the championship standings in suspense. Should the victory be stripped, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen could potentially be declared the winner, significantly impacting the ongoing title battle.
This latest controversy adds further fuel to an already intense F1 season, with tensions running high between rival teams.
More updates to follow as the investigation develops.
