George Russell Disqualified from Belgian GP Due to Underweight Car
Russell's Mercedes Found to Be in Violation of Technical Regulations
George Russell has been disqualified from the result of the Belgian Grand Prix after his Mercedes was found to be underweight the minimum weight limit set by Formula One regulations. The disqualification marks a disappointing end to a race that saw Russell lead from the start and appeared to have secured his first Formula One victory.
Sainz Inherits Victory, Verstappen Moves Up to Second
With Russell's disqualification, Carlos Sainz Jr. of Ferrari inherits the victory in the Belgian Grand Prix. Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing moves up to second place, while Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes takes third place. The result is a major setback for Russell, who had come agonizingly close to claiming his maiden Formula One win.
Mercedes Facing Potential Penalties
The disqualification also raises questions about the legality of Mercedes' car. The team could face further penalties if the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile) determines that the car was intentionally designed to be underweight or that the team manipulated the results of the scrutineering process.
The incident is a major blow to Russell and Mercedes and is sure to have ramifications for the rest of the Formula One season.
