George Russell has spoken out after he was involved in a high-speed crash in FP2 at the Mexican Grand Prix. Mercedes have confirmed the 26-year-old has been discharged from the medical centre following his big shunt in the early part of the session.
Russell got onto the kerb at Turn Nine and lost traction, spinning into the barriers on the right-hand side of the circuit. He looked to be in some discomfort as he climbed out of the car holding his ribs and was immediately whisked away by medics.
He went straight for a check-up, as is standard practice when a driver is involved in a heavy crash. Mercedes later confirmed that Russell was okay after he returned to the garage following his trip to the medical centre.
They wrote on social media: “Positive news on George Russell. He has been released from the medical centre and is back with the team.”
