During the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, George Russell, a Mercedes driver, caught everyone’s attention when he seemingly “snitched” on fellow driver Lando Norris. The incident occurred at the start of the race when Norris’ McLaren appeared to move forward before stopping again, raising suspicions of a jump start. Russell promptly reported Norris’ early movement over the team radio. However, the FIA transponder data did not indicate a jump start, and Norris was ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing. Despite the drama, Norris himself remained uncertain about what had happened during the start. His McLaren team had opted for an alternate strategy, which unfortunately didn’t pay off in the end.
