Formula 1: Russell faces engine penalty in Las Vegas

Mercedes driver George Russell could face another engine penalty at the Las Vegas Grand Prix after already being sent to the back of the grid in Singapore. The team plans to choose a circuit that makes overtaking easier for the power-unit change, according to TimesLIVE.

George Russell, the British Mercedes driver in Formula 1, could receive another engine penalty at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, scheduled for next month, reports TimesLIVE. He was already relegated to the back of the grid in Singapore after exceeding the number of power units allowed this season.

Second in the championship, Russell is 102 points behind his Italian team-mate Kimi Antonelli, who could clinch the title before the American round. Russell told Sky Sports that he was considering serving this new penalty in Las Vegas.
