George Russell eyes US Grand Prix for Mercedes engine penalty
Original: George Russell targets US race for looming Mercedes engine grid penalty
George Russell is expected to take a grid penalty at the United States Grand Prix after Mercedes fits a new engine to his car, exceeding his allocation for the season. The team is reportedly timing the change for a circuit where overtaking is easier, limiting the damage. Attention now turns to whether the penalty lands in Austin and how it affects his championship battle.
Why now: Formula 1's engine allocation rules mean a penalty is imminent and the US race is the likely point it will be taken.
