Lovitură importantă în lupta la titlu în Formula 1. George Russell va pleca din coada grilei în Singapore

Mercedes driver George Russell will face a grid penalty for the Singapore Grand Prix due to a power unit issue that forced him to retire in Malaysia. The team confirmed that he exceeded the allowed number of engine components for the season, resulting in a start from the back of the grid. Russell was in third place when his car stopped, impacting his title chances against teammate Kimi Antonelli, who increased his lead in the standings. The penalty applies only to the main race on Sunday, while Russell can still earn points in the Sprint race on Saturday. The Marina Bay circuit poses challenges for overtaking, complicating Russell's recovery efforts in the championship standings.
