Mercedes communications chief Bradley Lord has reflected on the 'tricky situation' with team orders during the Mexico Grand Prix.
George Russell was critical of the Brackley outfit's handling of swapping positions with him and his team-mate Andrea Kimi Antonelli during the race at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. The Briton made the request for the team to swap positions on lap 35 as he closed in on Antonelli. While Mercedes did not agree, Russell was informed that he was "free to race".
