Aston Martin Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso has been summoned to visit the Australian Grand Prix stewards for his potential part in George Russell's last-lap crash.

Russell was catching Alonso for sixth place but on the last lap he lost control of his Mercedes W15 into the high-speed Turn 6/7 right-hander.

After hitting the tyre wall, the Mercedes rebounded sideways across the gravel trap and was flipped onto its side by its own wheels as it came to rest.
