George Russell's fading Formula 1 title hopes have taken another hit, with Mercedes fitting a fresh power unit that will send the British driver to the rear of the grid for Sunday's Singapore Grand Prix. The penalty compounds a difficult stretch in his championship bid, leaving him with a tough task fighting through the field on the tight Marina Bay street circuit.

Why now: A grid penalty for a leading driver ahead of a marquee night race is major news in the F1 world, especially with title stakes involved.
