In a dramatic turn of events at the F1 Belgian Grand Prix held at Spa-Francorchamps, Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton was declared the winner after his teammate George Russell was disqualified for having an underweight car.
The race, which took place at the iconic Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium, saw Hamilton secure victory in a race that was marred by challenging weather conditions and multiple incidents.
Hamilton's win marked a significant achievement for the seven-time world champion, who showcased his skill and determination throughout the race.
However, the spotlight shifted to his teammate Russell, who initially crossed the finish line in second place but was later disqualified due to his car being found to be under the minimum weight requirement set by the FIA.
The disqualification of Russell allowed Red Bull's Max Verstappen to move up to second place, with Ferrari's Daniel Ricciardo taking the final spot on the podium.
The decision to disqualify Russell came as a disappointment to both the driver and the Mercedes team, who had shown strong performance throughout the race weekend.
Despite the setback, Hamilton's victory further solidified his position as a dominant force in Formula 1, as he continues to chase his eighth world championship title.
The F1 Belgian Grand Prix provided fans with an exciting and unpredictable race, highlighting the competitive nature of the sport and setting the stage for future battles on the track.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Hamilton and his rivals as they continue to push the limits in pursuit of glory on the Formula 1 circuit.
