Grid penalties to come for George Russell in Turkey
George Russell will start at the back of the grid this weekend in Turkey due to several changes made to his Williams, which will result in penalties.
Often flamboyant on Saturdays at the wheel of his FW43, George Russell will not benefit from his accomplishments achieved in qualifying.
Indeed, he will benefit from three new components on his car: an internal combustion engine, an MGU-H, and a turbo. This is the 4th replacement for each of these components, changes limited to three per season by the FIA.
George Russell becomes the first driver of the season to receive grid penalties for changing elements on his car. The penalty in terms of grid position is likely to be severe for the driver from the Grove team, as he will surely start from the last row this Sunday.
