George Russell drives for the team Mercedes. He has bad luck right now. His motor broke in Malaysia. He stops the race early.
Now he needs a new motor. The rules allow only few parts. Mercedes uses too many parts now. Russell gets a penalty.
He starts at the back in Singapur. This is a big problem. The track is very narrow. Overtaking is very hard there.
Russell is far behind in the championship. Kimi Antonelli has 84 points more. Russell loses hope for the title. He needs much luck now.
Antonelli can win the title soon. Other races are important too. Some races in the Middle East can fail because of war. Then fewer points are available.
Toto Wolff feels sad for Russell. He says bad luck is part of sport. The team wants better cars now. They check all technical problems.
