Official: Russell Disqualified, Hamilton Declared Winner of Belgian GP

By Score More In a dramatic twist to the Belgian Grand Prix, the FIA has disqualified George Russell, handing the victory to his teammate Lewis Hamilton. The decision came more than two hours after the race concluded. Russell, who initially crossed the finish line in first place, was found to violate the weight regulations. The 26-year-old's Mercedes was recorded at just 795.6 kg, falling short of the mandatory minimum weight of 798 kg. As a result, Russell’s win has been officially stripped. Lewis Hamilton, who finished just 0.6 seconds behind Russell, is now the official winner of the race. This victory marks Hamilton’s third career win in Formula 1, following his triumphs at the Brazilian GP in 2022 and the Austrian GP earlier this season. The revised results also benefit Mc...
