Check out the biggest stories from Sunday 28th July – Belgian Grand Prix day – with the RacingNews365 Review!
The big story from the Belgian Grand Prix was the disqualification of race-winner George Russell, who was found to have an underweight car following an audacious one-stop strategy victory over Lewis Hamilton by less than a second. Russell’s W15 was 1.5kg under the 798kg weight limit, making him the first race-winner to be disqualified since Michael Schumacher in 1994. Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff accepted the decision, stating that they will ‘take it on the chin’ as speculation around the reasons for disqualification continue to emerge. Hamilton’s victory marked his 105th career win and second in three races, with this being his fifth win at Spa. Verstappen benefited from Russell’s disqualification, moving up to fourth place and extending his championship lead over Lando Norris, easing some previous concerns in the F1 title race.
