Mercedes driver George Russell will not take part in the first practice session for the Mexico Grand Prix, according to reports. The decision means Russell will miss the FP1 running at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.
The 2025 Italian Grand Prix saw Russell behind the wheel of the Mercedes W16, but the team has opted to give his Mexico FP1 seat to another driver. No further details on the replacement or the reasoning behind the move have been disclosed.
