George Russell's disqualification from the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix will see Mercedes 'take it on the chin', says Toto Wolff...
Mercedes representatives met with the FIA stewards at Spa-Francorchamps, with George Russell ’s victory removed over a technical infringement.
Another factor could have been a lack of rubber pick-up, known as marbles – with Spa-Francorchamps being over five kilometres long, there is no cooldown lap to allow drivers the chance to dirty up their tyres.“But, clearly, it was unexpected to run with one tyre throughout the race, so let’s see what they say.”
“Look, you know, we have to take it on the chin if the stewards decide against us,” he said just before the disqualification news broke. “Obviously, for George, that’s a massive blow – a driver and all his childhood dreams to win these races and then it’s being probably taken away, but he’s gonna win many more.”“We have to take our disqualification on the chin,” Wolff said.
