George Russell received two penalty points on his Super Licence
The commissioners have decided to add two penalty points to the British driver's Super License following his collision with Sergio Pérez during the Monaco Grand Prix.
George Russell was given two penalty points by the stewards after his collision with Sergio Perez during the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix.
The Mercedes driver blamed himself for this incident, as he seemed well on his way to the podium when he made a mistake in the Mirabeau corner, shortly after switching to intermediate tires with the arrival of rain.
While coming back on track, Russell made contact with Perez’s Red Bull. The Brit received a five-second penalty and ultimately finished the race in P5.
In addition to his on-track penalty, a document detailing the verdict of the commissioners shows that Russell also received two penalty points for rejoining the track in a dangerous manner. This brings the total number of points he has accumulated in the last 12 months to six. He must not accumulate six more points, otherwise he risks being suspended for a Grand Prix.
