Keep reading for details on what happened, including the post-race disqualification for George Russell.
Three drivers received grid penalties ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix. See the details below.
The Belgian Grand Prix had many lead changes and unexpected front runners:
George Russell's penalty: After the race, the FIA weighed George Russell's car per standing operating procedures. The car was found to be 798.0kg, and after fuel was drained it weighed in at 796.5kg. This weight falls below the minimum requirement in TR Article 4.1 and was referred to the Stewards for deliberation. At the deliberation, Mercedes confirmed the scales were properly calibrated and it was an unmitigated team error.
Because the weight minimum must be met at all times, George Russell was disqualified from the Belgian Grand Prix, and all other drivers were promoted one position.
