The technical problem faced by British driver George Russell of the "Mercedes" team in "Formula 1" in Canada has created a serious investigation difficulty for the team.
İdman.Biz reports that the return of the ERS module that failed in Russell's car to Great Britain will take several months. This delays "Mercedes" from determining the exact cause of the malfunction. According to reports, the problem occurred on the 30th lap of the Canadian Grand Prix, when Russell was leading.
Bradley Lord, deputy head of the "Mercedes" team, said that the ERS system in Russell's W16 car suddenly stopped. According to him, this malfunction later caused additional damage. After the team recovered the car, they were able to remove the problematic module, but that part must go through special security procedures.
Lord noted that the module is being sent to Great Britain as cargo, not by plane. Therefore, it will take several months for the part to reach the base. During this time, "Mercedes" will be forced to investigate the cause of the malfunction only based on telemetry and other technical data.
Russell's withdrawal from the race created the conditions for Kimi Antonelli to win his fourth consecutive victory. Antonelli won in Canada, increasing his lead in the personal standings to 43 points.
