George Russell has been disqualified for having an underweight car after winning the Belgian Grand Prix, handing victory to his Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton.

Russell stunned the rest of the field by pulling off an audacious one-stop strategy to seal a surprise Mercedes one-two at Spa, but about 90 minutes after the conclusion of the race, the FIA announced that his car had come in underweight.

The W15 weighed in at 796.5 kilograms, 1.5kg beneath the minimum weight required by the sport’s regulations. The car had initially weighed in bang on the 798kg limit, but once the remaining fuel was drained in accordance with the rules, it fell below.
