An FIA notice for the Mexico City Grand Prix, dated 1 November 2026, says George Russell, car 63, and a Mercedes team representative were required to report to the stewards at 19:00. It cites an alleged breach of Article B10.1.4e of the FIA F1 Regulations, described as failure to attend mandatory post-race commitments. The document records no finding or penalty.

This is a procedural summons, not a ruling: the alleged breach must not be presented as established.
