Sky Sports F1 strategy expert Bernie Collins analyses the key questions around George Russell's disqualification from the Belgian Grand Prix.
Following George Russell's disqualification from the Belgian Grand Prix, Sky Sports F1 strategy expert Bernie Collins analyses the key questions arising from the incident. Russell appeared to have pulled off a glorious victory when he held off Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton in the closing stages to take the chequered flag at Spa. However, the remarkable one-stop strategy that the Brit pulled off ultimately appeared to cost him, as his W15 came in 1.
To add to that, if you have a load of pickup on your tyres, the FIA can ask for a different set of tyres to be fitted to the car, if they think that other set of tyres are lighter but they very rarely do it. Would Russell have gained an advantage from reduced weight?The amount by which Russell was under the limit, 1.5kg, is probably worth about half a tenth per lap, so it's small.
