British driver George Russell will start Sunday's Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix from last place on the starting grid. The Mercedes team announced that the reason is a power unit change, which brings a penalty. idnes.cz ↗
Mercedes proceeded with the engine change after Russell's retirement from the Malaysian Grand Prix. The British driver had to park his car six laps before the finish due to a power unit failure. At the time, he was running in third place, which was considered almost certain. sport.cz ↗
The failure cost Russell an important result in the fight for the top positions of the championship. The subsequent engine change means that in Singapore he will have to race from the back of the starting field regardless of his qualifying position. sport.sk ↗
For Mercedes, this is another complication after the unsuccessful race in Malaysia. Russell's chances in the title fight have significantly diminished following the retirement and the grid penalty. The team will have to choose a strategy during the Singapore race that will allow the driver to advance through the starting field. n-tv ↗
Russell will thus face a demanding task on Sunday. His result is expected to affect not only Mercedes' pace but also the further development of the fight for the Formula 1 championship title.
