George Russell, who took the place of the Lewis Hamilton coronavirus, had no luck at all to race on Sunday: the German stable accidentally put tires on his race car that belonged to Valtteri Bottas. For this reason, the British driver had to stand out again in the box (and later even suffered a puncture, which further aggravated his situation).
Mercedes Bottas put the first two tires on Russell’s race car when the two drivers arrived at the same time to change wheels when the safety car arrived, the case was cited by f1vilag.hu, who wrote:
finally fined Mercedes with 20 thousand euros, that is, around 7 million HUF 200 thousand
– accepting the German stable’s explanation that the chaos on Boxing Street was caused by a radio error.
Thus, after a long fight, Russell, who finished in ninth position, can keep his 2 points, which are his first points in Formula 1.
