In a major development ahead of the British Grand Prix, Mercedes have officially confirmed that George Russell will not participate in the race at Silverstone. The decision was made following last-minute technical concerns, with the team opting to withdraw the British driver as a precautionary measure.
Details surrounding the exact cause remain limited, but initial reports point to potential reliability issues detected in final pre-race checks. Mercedes stated that the choice was made to protect both driver and equipment, prioritizing long-term performance and safety.
Russell, who had shown strong form during the weekend, was expected to be a key contender in front of his home fans. His absence now places full responsibility on teammate Lewis Hamilton to lead Mercedes’ charge at Silverstone.
The team is expected to release further updates on the situation in the coming hours.
