Mercedes Formula 1 driver George Russell has lost his Belgian Grand Prix win after his car was found to be underweight during post-race checks
“Mercedes Formula 1 driver George Russell lost his Belgian Grand Prix win for his underweight car following post-race checks. Russell led a remarkable one-stop race to finish first, but his W15 failed post-race scrutineering due to being underweight. The FIA found that after fuel extraction, the car weighed 796.5kg, below the 798kg limit without fuel. Russell’s breach of technical regulations led to his disqualification from the race result. Team principal Toto Wolff took responsibility for the error, stating that there were no excuses for the mistake made by the team. As a result, Lewis Hamilton was declared the race winner, with Oscar Piastri in second place and Charles Leclerc on the podium.”
