George Russell warns F1 over risks of “horrific incident” at Brazil GP

Mercedes driver George Russell has warned Formula 1 officials that racing in torrential rain during Sunday's Sao Paulo Grand Prix could lead to a "horrific incident." His comments followed severe weather disruptions during qualifying at Interlagos, where zero visibility and severe aquaplaning forced a red flag that halted the session for nearly 90 minutes.

Russell qualified second-fastest but faces a grid drop to seventh following an engine change penalty. Meanwhile, pole-sitter Lando Norris of McLaren described the conditions as some of the wettest he had experienced, though Norris stated he welcomed the challenge of a potential wet race.
