George Russell faced disqualification from the recent F1 Belgian GP after his Mercedes vehicle was discovered to be under the stipulated weight limit, leading to Lewis Hamilton being awarded the victory. A technical report revealed post-race examination indicated that Russell's car was 1.5kg lighter than the required minimum weight inclusive of both car and driver. The stewards promptly declared Russell's disqualification from the race rankings, consequently promoting all other drivers up in the standings. Despite starting from sixth position on the grid, Russell managed to outpace Hamilton and McLaren's Oscar Piastri to clinch the top spot, completing 44 laps with only one pit stop. His strategic decision to extend the second set of tires for 34 laps enabled him to take an unexpected third victory in his career. Following the unfortunate turn of events, Russell expressed his disappointment, acknowledging the team's efforts despite the disqualification. Hamilton, benefiting from Russell's misfortune, secured his 105th career win and second win of the season, with Piastri and Leclerc claiming the subsequent podium positions. The incident highlighted discrepancies in the weight measurement of Russell's car, leading to a thorough reevaluation that ultimately confirmed the underweight issue, resulting in the shift of rankings and Hamilton's victory capture.
