Points Lost by George Russell Due to Reliability Issues in 2026
Mercedes driver George Russell has lost a large share of expected points this season due to recurring reliability problems.
Throughout the 2026 season, Mercedes driver George Russell has been forced to retire from several races due to technical failures.
Each DNF has left a sizable hole in his points tally; the F1.com team has estimated how many points Russell should have accumulated if reliability had not been an issue.
These missing points have pushed Russell behind his rivals in the championship battle and jeopardise the team’s season objectives.
