🚨 Russell’s engineer Marcus lied to him, claiming that the penalty had already been cleared, causing him to miss a second opportunity to serve it. Was this instruction coming from Mercedes? 🚨 After Leclerc hit the wall, a red flag wasn't immediately shown. Under yellow flags, drivers still had to pit and navigate around the final corner as before. Russell voluntarily offered to serve a stop-and-go penalty in the pits to clear his time. He was 12 seconds ahead of Gasly when he pitted, so even after serving it, he wouldn't lose position. Marcus told him the penalty had been cleared and to wait for Race Control to update.

lando addresses the possibility of future grid penalties: “the problem is i’m on my third power unit already, third battery, and i’m taking penalties from this one onward. so hopefully that’s not the case, but i don’t know what to expect nowadays. it seems like every weekend we have something, but it’s not just mclaren, it’s mercedes as well – and between HPP and mclaren, we have to do a better job, because it’s just not good enough.”

the fact that toto wolff had the audacity to come on the radio and tell george to “talk about it after” after he had simply asked if he had served the penalty is insane to me

i’m not saying it but i’m also not 𝘯𝘰𝘵 saying it
