Russell Under Fire After DRS Drama in Bahrain

Officials are investigating George Russell for using his DRS system outside designated zones. The Mercedes team had to adjust his car after discovering problems with the drag reduction system. Several other drivers faced similar rear-wing issues during the event.

Russell also experienced problems with his transponder not functioning properly. These technical difficulties might affect his final standing. The race stewards will decide after the competition whether he keeps his podium position.

Despite these challenges, Russell managed to hold off competitor Lando Norris. He crossed the finish line in second place at Bahrain International Circuit, giving Mercedes a provisional podium spot. The team anxiously awaits the official ruling from race officials.

Technical violations can result in time penalties or disqualification, depending on their severity. The DRS system helps drivers overtake by reducing aerodynamic drag when activated. Rules strictly control when drivers can use this advantage during races.
