Mercedes F1 driver George Russell is out of the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal after an engine problem led to his eventual retirement from the race.
Russell was leading the race at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on the Île Sainte-Hélène when he suffered an engine issue going into turn eight.
His Mercedes machine suffered an engine issue that was audible on the broadcast – leading the British driver to stop on the track after losing power.
In something of a fit, an irate Russell began to throw some of his equipment out of his car in a clear demonstration of frustration.
This included his HANS device – which he launched a few feet in front of him onto the track.
When he eventually climbed out of the cockpit, Russell was seen slamming his hands on his car before getting off the track.
