George Russell has been summoned before the stewards at the
Canadian Grand Prix for a failure to follow the race director's
notes. Prior to each round of the F1 season, the race director
publishes notes with various instructions the drivers must abide
by. The Mercedes driver has been alleged to have fallen foul of
Article 12.2.1i of the FIA's International Code and non-compliance
with item 17.3, document 04 of the event notes. Specifically, that
is following the escape road instructions at Turn 14, which is the
final chicane at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. 17.3 is: "Any
driver who fails to negotiate Turn 9 or Turn 13 and passes
completely to the left of the orange apex kerb must keep completely
to the left of the orange line on the exit of the corner and
re-join the track at the far end of the asphalt run-off."
Meanwhile, 12.2.1.i is: "Failure to follow the instructions of the
relevant officials for the safe and orderly conduct of the Event."
