F1 Belgian Grand Prix: How one team have vital lesson to learn to avoid disqualification
The Belgian Grand Prix is a significant event for George Russell, both on and off the track, as reports hinted at a potential meeting between Max Verstappen and Toto Wolff in Sardinia. To secure his place for 2026, Russell needs to replicate last year’s success at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps this weekend. Unfortunately, Russell’s victory at the 2025 Belgian GP was revoked due to his car being under the minimum weight limit, exposing the fine margins that can affect race outcomes. Despite a remarkable one-stop strategy last year, the miscalculations cost Russell the win, emphasizing the meticulous attention required in F1. As he aims to outshine Verstappen at Spa, Russell must learn from past errors to show Mercedes why he deserves a spot on the team.
