AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - George Russell will start Sunday's U.S. Grand Prix from the pitlane after Mercedes worked on his car overnight to repair damage from a crash in qualifying, the Formula One team said.
The Briton qualified sixth, despite the crash in the dying seconds of the session, with seven-times world champion team mate Lewis Hamilton 19th on the grid.
