Lewis Hamilton won The Belgian GP after George's disqualification

George Russel won the Belgian Grand Prix after completing the entire race with just one pit stop, joined on the podium by Lewis Hamilton and the team secured their first double since 2022,

however, during a routine inspection of the car, the FIA ​​found that George's car was 1.5 kg under the minimum weight limit of 798 kg, this led to his disqualification and the victory was attributed to Hamilton, who claimed his 150th triumph.

Toto Wolff: 

"We have to take our disqualification on the chin. We have clearly made a mistake and need to ensure we learn from it. We will go away, evaluate what happened and understand what went wrong. To lose a 1-2 is frustrating and we can only apologise to George who drove such a strong race. Lewis is of course promoted to P1; he was the fastest guy on the two-stop and is a deserving winner."

"Despite the disqualification, there are many positives we can take from this weekend. We had a car that was the benchmark in today's race across two different strategies. Only a few months ago, that would have been inconceivable. We head into the summer break having won three of the past four races. We will look to come back after shutdown rejuvenated and with the aim of maintaining our positive trajectory."

Oscar Piastri finished in second place, towards the end of the race he was catching up with the two Mercedes very quickly and for a while it seemed that he could even fight for the victory, but that did not happen and he had to settle for third place, after George's penalty Oscar finished second.

His teammate Lando lost a few positions at the start after going off the track and it was very difficult for him to get ahead. he finished in fifth place.

Max Verstappen, who took pole position on Saturday, started from 11th position after a penalty due to an engine change, it was a little surprising that even here Redbull did not have such speed and Max had to settle for P5 and Checo, who started from the first row, fell on P7.

Ferrari had more speed than we expected, Leclerc started from Pole Position, but after a few laps he fell behind Hamilton and held on to him for a while, but Piastri overtook him and at the end he got P3, his teammate P6.

Alonso quietly got to P8, Ocon, who had a special painting on his car for the presentation of the movie Deadpool vs Wolverine, he finished P9. Daniel Ricciardo, who could replace Sergio Perez after the summer break, finishes the Top 10.
