George Russell Suffers High-Speed Crash in Mexico City Practice

George Russell crashed his Mercedes car during the second practice session for the Mexico City Grand Prix, losing control at Turn 8 and spinning into the barriers. The incident marked Russell's second big crash in a week, following an accident during qualifying at the United States Grand Prix. Russell was taken to the medical centre due to the severity of the crash, but was released without injury. Russell expressed frustration at the incident, saying he didn't know what happened and that it's been one thing after another for him recently. He was able to walk away unaided from the wreckage and returned to Mercedes' hospitality unit after a precautionary visit to the medical centre.
