拉塞尔赛后缺席媒体采访，梅赛德斯被罚5000欧元
墨西哥大奖赛赛后，拉塞尔未按规定前往媒体区接受采访，梅赛德斯因此被赛会罚款5000欧元。梅赛德斯解释称，拉塞尔因比赛中的能量部署问题和10秒罚时情绪低落，故未出席。
墨西哥大奖赛赛会干事对梅赛德斯车队处以罚款，原因是乔治·拉塞尔在队友基米·安东内利夺得总冠军的那场比赛后未履行媒体义务。
拉塞尔未前往媒体区接受转播商和文字媒体采访。
根据国际汽联F1运动规则第B10.1.4e条，每位车手无正当理由都必须出席，因此他在周日晚被传唤至赛会干事处，梅赛德斯随后被罚款5000欧元。
梅赛德斯解释称，他们为拉塞尔免除了这一义务，因为他在赛后“情绪极度低落”。拉塞尔在比赛起步阶段遭遇能量部署问题，从第一排位置向后掉队。他与红牛车手伊萨克·哈贾尔发生碰撞，因此被罚10秒，最终以第六名完赛，而安东内利则登上领奖台并夺得拉塞尔曾希望属于自己的总冠军。
尽管拉塞尔没有参加梅赛德斯的庆祝活动，但他在赛后确实向安东内利及其家人（见上图）表示了祝贺。
梅赛德斯车队领队托托·沃尔夫解释道：“赛后我在国际汽联称重区看到了乔治，显然他对当时的情况感到非常沮丧。”
“他主动去看望基米，展现了极佳的体育精神。我认识乔治已经很久了。他正经历一段艰难时期，但当初也是他出力把这名年轻人带进了这支车队。”
“对一名赛车手来说，这是灾难性的一刻，也许今天的比赛多少就是他这个赛季的缩影。”
“这本来是一场他该赢的比赛。我们的赛车有速度。可我们在第一段直道上让他失望了。能量输出没有达到我们预期的水平。”
“此刻我非常理解他。我也经历过那种极其、极其难以应对的局面。”
“所以他不做媒体工作、离开赛道，完全可以理解。他要是留下来，反倒会让我意外。”
英文原文
Mercedes has been fined by Formula 1’s Mexican Grand Prix stewards for George Russell not attending his media duties after the race in which team-mate Kimi Antonelli won the title.
Russell failed to attend the media pen to speak to broadcasters and the written media.
This is required of every driver without a valid reason not to attend, as per Article B10.1.4e of the FIA’s F1 sporting regulations, so he was summoned to the stewards on Sunday evening, with Mercedes then given a €5000 fine.
Mercedes explained it excused Russell because he was "distraught" after the race. Russell had an energy deployment problem at the start of the race that sent him backwards from the front row. He collided with Red Bull’s Isack Hadjar, picked up a 10-second time penalty for that and ended the race sixth, while Antonelli claimed a podium and the title Russell once hoped would be his.
Although Russell did not attend Mercedes’ celebrations, he did congratulate Antonelli and his family (pictured above) after the race.
"I saw George after the race on the FIA scales and obviously he's distraught about the situation," Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff explained.
"It was a great show of sportsmanship to go and see Kimi. I have known George for such a long time. He is going through a hard time, but he was also responsible in getting the young man into this team.
"For a racing driver, this is a catastrophic moment and maybe today the race was a little bit a picture of his season.
"This was a race for him to win. We had the pace in the car. And we let him down on the first straight. The energy delivery was not what we thought it should be.
"I'm very much with him at the moment. I've been in situations where it’s very, very difficult to cope.
"So him not doing the media work or leaving the track is absolutely understandable. Him staying would have actually surprised me."
