George Russell was disqualified from the Belgian GP after the FIA found his car to be 1.5kg underweight, meaning Lewis Hamilton won the race, with Oscar Piastri and Charles Leclerc moving up to second and third position respectively.
This is Hamilton’s 105th victory in Formula 1 and his second this season.
In their announcement, the stewards state:
Car 63 was weighed on the FIA indoor and outdoor scales with both scales showing the same result of 796.5 kg. Calibration of both scales was confirmed in the presence of the competitor. During the hearing the team representative confirmed that the measurement is correct and that all the required procedures were done correctly. The team also acknowledged that there were no extenuating circumstances and that it was a genuine mistake by the team.
The stewards find that Article 4.1 of the FIA Formula 1 Technical Regulations has been breached and therefore the standard penalty for such an infringement must be applied.
The new results of the match, as well as the scores, are as follows:
