George Russell has been disqualified from the result of the Belgian Grand Prix after his Mercedes was found to be underweight following the race.

Russell had taken victory in the event following a one-stop strategy, which saw him nurse his hard tyres to the chequered flag and just hold off Hamilton by half a second.

However, a Technical Delegate’s Report released after the race stated that, while the car had initially been found to be compliant with the minimum weight of 798kg, 2.8 litres of fuel were then removed.

After being referred to the stewards, it was confirmed that Russell had been disqualified from the race. As such, Hamilton is promoted to P1, while Oscar Piastri now takes P2 and Charles Leclerc moves up to P3.
