Toto Wolff confirms George Russell engine penalty for Singapore GP: "Particularly frustrating"

Mercedes driver George Russell will start the Singapore Grand Prix from the back of the grid due to a power-unit penalty. The penalty stems from a mechanical failure during a previous race, which forced the Briton to retire before the finish line.

Team principal Toto Wolff described the situation as particularly frustrating for the team. The grid penalty follows a high-profile retirement where Russell was forced to pull over while running in third position.
