GR 💬 : This is why I was pleading with them not to give me the drive-through penalty, for the incorrect penalty in the race. Because once you have a drive-through, there is nothing you can do.
🚨 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.
@MaxArgento33 en 5 carreras mas si no suma tantos puntos mercedes con ambos autos y no resuelven los problemas en el garage de george, y si, lamentablemente esos puntos de recortan
y si mercedes está como equipo punta ahora es ni nada mas ni nada menos al laburo que se pusieron a las espaldas george y lewis por años
de dejar tirado a tu piloto y optar ganar solo el campeonato de pilotos por un capricho no se vuelve
