George Russell and Mercedes are currently meeting with the Stewards over protests lodged by Red Bull Racing. Now, more details are emerging.

Two protests lodged 

After Horner postponed his media debrief, more information surrounding the Russell/Mercedes protests came to light.
It is now being reported that Red Bull Racing filed two protests. One for erratic driving behind the Safety Car, braking on the straight, and the other dropping too far behind the safety car.
Russell was called to the stewards around 30 minutes ago.
