The British Mercedes driver George Russell has been moved two places back on the grid for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix. The 25-year-old winner from last year will therefore start the race on Sunday (6 p.m. CET) on the Interlagos circuit from eighth place.
In the qualification on Friday – the last sprint of the year is scheduled for Saturday – Russell took sixth place. He received the penalty because he had hindered the French Alpine driver Pierre Gasly in the pit lane during the knockout elimination.
However, a penalty of two places down was also imposed on Gasly and his compatriot and teammate Esteban Ocon for the same offense. Gasly moves from starting position 13 to 15, Ocon from twelve to 14.
