Russell latest F1 driver to face stewards' summons

George Russell appeared before the stewards in the wake of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

The British driver was penalised for speeding in the pit lane during the opening lap of the race.

Stewards have launched an investigation into George Russell, becoming the second Formula One driver to face the stewards within 24 hours.

Russell is under investigation for allegedly speeding in the pit lane during the opening lap of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

The incident, which was noted by viewers and reported by race stewards, occurred as Russell was serving a penalty for a previous infringement.

The stewards will now review the evidence and determine whether or not to impose a further penalty on Russell.

This is the second time in as many days that a Formula One driver has faced a stewards' investigation.

Yesterday, Sergio Perez was summoned to the stewards' room following a collision with Esteban Ocon during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

However, Perez was not handed a penalty for his part in the incident.

The stewards' investigation into Russell is ongoing.

If found guilty, Russell could face a range of penalties, including a fine or a grid penalty.

More information is expected to be released later today.
