BBC F1 correspondent Andrew Benson answers your questions after Belgium Grand Prix
There was drama following the conclusion of the Belgian Grand Prix when race winner George Russell was disqualified after hisRussell's team-mate Lewis Hamilton, who finished second, inherited the victory to move on to 105 career wins, while McLaren's Oscar Piastri was promoted to P2 and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc lifted up to third place.
That’s because Russell’s tyres would have more wear on them than expected. Given the difference between the car being legal and not would be just 375g per tyre, that's certainly a possibility.The driver drives the car - and so he has benefited from whatever advantage a transgression of the rules has given him. So he has to be punished along with the team. Disqualifying a car but leaving its driver in the results wouldn't make any sense.Virtually nil.
Even if Norris won every remaining race and Verstappen was second every time, he still wouldn't catch him. How is the F1 summer break enforced at the factories? Are doors sealed, cars locked away? Does it affect design teams working on next year? - Jeremy Of course, team bosses can still talk to drivers and engineers and so on - and to each other. But talking is all they can do.
