Wolff: Russell 'distraught' after watching Antonelli seal title

Toto Wolff has revealed that Mercedes excused George Russell from carrying out his post Mexico City Grand Prix media duties because the British driver was "distraught" after seeing his team-mate Kimi Antonelli clinch the Drivers' Championship. Russell began the season as the clear title favourite but has been comprehensively outperformed by Antonelli, who finished third in Sunday's race to become Formula 1's youngest ever world champion at the age of 20, with four rounds still remaining.
