George Russell was disqualified from victory at the Belgian Grand Prix after Mercedes’ risky strategy.
George Russell defended Mercedes’ one-stop strategy in the Belgian Grand Prix as “a risk worth taking” despite his disqualification. Russell, the only driver on a one-stop plan, won the race but was found to be underweight by 1.5kg in post-race scrutineering. This led to his third career win being expunged, with Lewis Hamilton declared the winner. Russell praised Hamilton’s performance on the two-stop strategy and expressed disappointment over the disqualification. However, he remains optimistic about bouncing back stronger after the summer break, starting at Zandvoort.
