梅赛德斯一级方程式车队领队兼首席执行官托托·沃尔夫将墨西哥大奖赛描述为乔治·拉塞尔的“灾难性时刻”。
这位英国车手在排位赛中仅落后法拉利的刘易斯·汉密尔顿0.009秒，正赛从第二位发车，但起步后立即丢失位置。随后他又因第一圈与红牛的伊萨克·哈贾尔发生碰撞而被罚10秒。
拉塞尔最终获得第六名，而红牛的马克斯·维斯塔潘夺冠。荷兰人与汉密尔顿以及拉塞尔的队友基米·安东内利一同登上领奖台。第三名的成绩足以让这位意大利人加冕2026年世界冠军。拉塞尔向队友表示祝贺，但随后缺席了赛后媒体职责，导致梅赛德斯被罚款5000欧元。
当被问及这是拉塞尔的决定还是车队的决定时，沃尔夫对媒体表示：“我在赛后于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。去看望基米是体育精神的绝佳体现。”
我认识乔治很久了，我知道对一名运动员来说，这……他正经历一段艰难时期，但当初也是他负责把这位年轻人带进这支车队的。
所以我见了他，对一名赛车手来说，这是灾难性的时刻。也许今天的比赛多少是他本赛季的缩影。这本来是一场他该赢的比赛。
沃尔夫补充说，车队在比赛起步时的能量输出问题“让拉塞尔失望了”。
“我们车上有速度，却在第一段直道让他失望了。能量输出没有达到我们预期的水平，”车队领队继续说道。
“我现在非常支持他。我也曾身处非常难以应对的处境。他不做媒体工作或离开赛道是完全可以理解的。他要是留下来反而会让我惊讶。这绝对值得尊敬。”
拉塞尔仍在争夺年度亚军。在墨西哥站获得第六名后，他在积分榜上从第二跌至第四。目前第二到第五之间相差16分。

Toto Wolff explains George Russell's media absence after Mexican GP disappointment
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff defended George Russell's decision to skip media duties after a disappointing Mexican Grand Prix

For Mercedes fans. All the latest from the Silver Arrows, with F1 news, driver updates, car development and race analysis from Brackley and Brixworth.
Mercedes Formula 1 team principal and CEO Toto Wolff described the Mexican Grand Prix as a "catastrophic moment" for George Russell.
The Briton started second on the grid after qualifying just 0.009 seconds behind Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton, but immediately lost ground. He was then also given a 10-second penalty for a first-lap collision with Red Bull's Isack Hadjar.
Russell ultimately finished sixth while Red Bull's Max Verstappen won. The Dutchman was joined on the podium by Hamilton and Russell's team-mate Kimi Antonelli. The third-place finish was enough to crown the Italian 2026 world champion. Russell congratulated his team-mate but subsequently missed his post-race media duties, resulting in a €5000 for Mercedes.
Asked whether that had been Russell's decision or the team's, Wolff told the media: "I saw George after the race on the FIA scales, and obviously he's distraught about the situation. It was a great show of sportsmanship to go and see Kimi.
"I have known George for such a long time, and I know for a sportsperson, this is ... He's going through a hard time, but he was also responsible for getting the young man into this team.
"So I saw him, and for a racing driver, this is a catastrophic moment. Maybe today the race was a little bit of a picture of his season. This was a race for him to win."
Wolff added that the team 'let Russell down' with the energy delivery issues at the race start.
"We had the pace in the car and we let him down on the first straight. The energy delivery is not what we thought it should be," the team chief continued.
"I'm very much with him at the moment. I've been in situations where it's very difficult to cope. Him not doing the media work or leaving the track is absolutely understandable. Him staying would have actually surprised me. That's absolutely honourable."
Russell is still in the fight for second in the championship. After finishing sixth in Mexico, he dropped from second to fourth in the standings. There are currently 16 points separating second and fifth.
