George Russell was disqualified from his win at the Belgian Grand Prix, with team-mate Lewis Hamilton inheriting the victory.
Toto Wolff has given an explanation for George Russell’s disqualification at the Belgian Grand Prix. Following Russell one-stopping to victory at Spa, his car was found to be underweight during post-race scrutineering. The stewards quickly excluded Russell from the results as his car was 1.5kg underweight. Wolff stated there was “no excuse” for the underweight car but offered possible reasons for the discrepancy. He mentioned the challenge of maintaining weight with the one-stop strategy at Spa due to the lack of a traditional in-lap to pick up rubber for added weight. Wolff acknowledged the setbacks for Russell but remained optimistic about the driver’s future success.
