拉塞尔在巴西大奖赛再次受到五位发车位罚
乔治·拉塞尔将在本周末的巴西大奖赛中受到五位发车位罚，这是他在四场比赛中的第二次发车位下降。
拉塞尔在新加坡大奖赛因动力单元组件更换而受到60位发车位罚，这是他在马来西亚大奖赛动力单元故障退赛后必须采取的措施。
他当时就知道在年底前他必须再次接受发车位罚，梅赛德斯选择了本周末的巴西大奖赛在英特拉戈斯这么做，拉塞尔在梅赛德斯Instagram账号上确认了这一决定。
拉塞尔解释说，他们一直都知道在新加坡和赛季结束之间某个时候必须接受发车位罚。
“我们认为这是一个很好的地方来尝试。刘易斯·汉密尔顿（汉密尔顿）在这里（2021年）曾经因为大的发车网格处罚而表现不错。”
“下降五个位置看起来并不那么糟糕，我们将尝试重新回到前面。”
“在2021年为梅赛德斯（梅赛德斯）车队驾驶时，汉密尔顿因为技术不符合规定（DRS未对齐）在冲刺排位赛中排名第一而被取消资格，但他在冲刺赛中从第20位冲到了第5位。”
“当时，冲刺赛的结果决定了大奖赛的发车位次，但汉密尔顿更换了新的内燃机后，发车位次被降到了第10位。”
他仍然从那里舒适地赢得了大奖赛。
因此，巴西是拉塞尔接受引擎处罚的合理选择，这个处罚原本将与梅赛德斯附加开发与升级机会（ADUO）引擎的首次亮相同时发生。
但那个ADUO引擎的首次亮相还不确定，并且没有保证它会在巴西之后剩下的三场比赛之前出现。
梅赛德斯不希望匆忙推出它，只有当它确信准备就绪时才会推出，因为车手锦标赛已经结束，车队锦标赛几乎已经保证。

George Russell will take a five-place grid penalty for this weekend's Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix, his second grid drop in four races.
Russell had a 60-place grid penalty for a suite of power unit component changes in Singapore last month, a necessity after he retired with a power unit failure in Malaysia the week before.
He knew then that he would have to take another grid penalty before the end of the year, and Mercedes has chosen Brazil to do so at Interlagos this weekend, with Russell confirming the decision on Mercedes' Instagram account.
"We always had to take a grid penalty at some point between Singapore and the end of the season," Russell explained.
"We felt like this was a good place to take it. Lewis [Hamilton] had a big grid penalty here a number of years ago [in 2021] and did pretty well.
"Five places doesn't seem that bad and we’ll try to come back through."
Driving for Mercedes in 2021, Hamilton was disqualified after topping sprint qualifying for a technical non-conformity (a misaligned DRS), yet charged from 20th to fifth in the sprint.
Back then, the sprint result dictated your start position for the grand prix but, after taking a new internal combustion engine, Hamilton was dropped back to 10th on the grid.
He still comfortably won the grand prix from there.
So Brazil is a logical choice for Russell to take the engine penalty, one that was originally going to coincide with the debut of Mercedes' Additional Development and Upgrade Opportunities-assisted (ADUO) engine.
But the debut of that ADUO engine is uncertain, and there's no guarantee it will appear before the end of the season, with a maximum of three races remaining after Brazil.
Mercedes does not want to rush its introduction and will only introduce it when it is sure it is ready, with the drivers' championship already sealed and the constructors' championship all but guaranteed.
