Mercedes hopes that Russell will not be fined.

      Toto Wolff hopes that George Russell will not be fined for the incorrect operation of the DRS system on his car. At the same time, the head of the Mercedes team appeals to the precedent that was at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, when several drivers had similar problems, and then no sanctions were imposed for this.

      Toto Wolff: "The wing opened and closed, we didn't get any advantage. There are problems with the system, and we hope that everything will work out.

      For what reason this happened, we do not yet know. There may have been some problems with the wiring on George's car, but it cannot be ruled out that this was the result of failures in the entire Formula 1 timing system. Because of this, our system could have gone crazy.

      George had to cope with this problem, while holding off the onslaught of Lando Norris, and he drove incredibly well, thanks to which he climbed to the podium. In addition, he worked well with the rubber and drove such a long stretch of the race on soft tires, while attacking when necessary.

      For those who have no experience piloting a racing car equipped with a brake-by-wire system, I will explain that when it fails, it can be compared to a malfunction of the power steering. Imagine that you have to constantly adapt, because the system can work in one turn, and in the next it turns off.  It requires real skill..."
