George Russell was disqualified for having an underweight car after winning the Belgian Grand Prix.
A former F1 strategy engineer has pointed out what 'could have contributed' to George Russell 's car being underweight after the Belgian Grand Prix.The car had initially weighed in at exactly 798 kilograms, which is the minimum weight required by TR Article 4.1, but once fuel was drained in accordance with the rules, it fell below the required figure.
The stewards' ruling read: "Car 63 was weighed on the FIA inside and outside scales with both scales showing the same result of 796.5 kg. The calibration of both scales was confirmed and witnessed by the competitor."During the hearing the team representative confirmed that the measurement is correct and that all required procedures were performed correctly.
"The Stewards determine that Article 4.1 of the FIA Formula 1 Technical Regulations has been breached and therefore the standard penalty for such an infringement needs to be applied."relayed the thoughts of Bernie Collins, a former F1 strategy engineer for the Aston Martin F1 team, regarding the much-talked-about situation.
