- Why Was George Russell Disqualified After A Brilliant Strategy Call In The 2024 Belgian GP
George Russel was disqualified from the Belgium gp due to being underweight. The Mercedes f1 team had a 1-2 and it was taken away hours after the grand prix had finished. This means zero points afte what was a thrilling grand prix before the summer break. Lewis hamilton has now taken his 105 victory.

I think today's Lewis day, something happened.
But you all know it was a well-deserved win for him.
He was faster than George today.
It was actually because of TR article 6.5.2 and TR article 4.1

He defo said Bell gi an. Awesome. 🎉
People should read the summons doc. It says the car was initially weighed and found to be right at the limit, like to the decimal point, which the FIA thought was suspicious so they checked the fuel tank saw there was over 2L of fuel left. So they fully drained the tank, as per the regs, and re-weighed the car and found it to be 1.5kg lighter. Got nothing to do with fuel saving or marble pickup
I clearly remember one time not this race. the reporter said the drives are supposed go off line on the cool down lap or to victory stage and drive over the tire marbles on the track so car can weight more.
And it is mightily suspicious that the car weighted exactly what it had to, minimally, AND had too much fuel in it. Too much of a coincidence for me - these are top teams, they don't make these kind of blatant errors. Even more suspicious is the fact that Toto didn't scream and shout about it, but just meekly accepted the DQ. I wonder why...
Mercedes tried to cover it up basically. FIA wasn’t having it.
If Russell two-stopped at initially planned, there'd be more rubber left on his tyres.
Had they a full cool down lap, Russell would've collected more pick-up on his final tour to the pits.
Who knows if it's enough to make up 1.5kg, but at 400g (less than ¾lb) per tyre, on a 12-14kg (25-28lb) tyre, who knows? 🤷🏻♂️
@@Alumnikiidexactly
It seems that similar to Charles, George has used all his luck to win Austria and since then he has had a DNF, eliminated in Q1 due to a team mistake and an DSQ taking away his greatest win so far
Man, george is unlucky this 2nd half of the season.
wtf do u mean eliminated in q1 due to a team mistake. Yes the team made the mistake of sending him out too early but lewis set his lap to go through at the beginning of the session in hungary while at the same time george was slow
@@noahdoerfler1865Of course he was slow. His only lap time was when the track was still wet. Everyone else set a time when the track was dry. Simple, really
Luck doesn't win races in a championship that has the best drivers in the world.
@@NWA_1919 Luck plays some part in all sports, at all levels.
Maxs radio mid race sounded like he was holding back the whole time he’s like “should I get them now” like he was about to break everyone spirit and pass everyone with a new engine but he gained like 1 place? Since lap 20 lol
might've been a message to be passed on to Perez as well to hurry up since he was stuck behind both for ages.
@@frankhuurman3955 no it was dramatic like the race was gonna change and max was gonna smoke everyone in that instant, I was like oh shit we’re fucked but he didn’t get any faster
This is just another proof that Crashtappen is a great driver when he is in front. He is pretending that he can do more like he used to do. By asking his team a few times if he needed to do more but did nothing 😂😅😢
He discussed it after the race. Red bull has simply been caught up to, development wise. Since the formula update, red bull has been dominant. That's no longer the case, the McLarens and now the Mercedes have caught up and are just as dangerous as the red bulls. Basically every race is going to be competitive from now until the end of the season. It's no longer realistic for Max to start in 11th and end up winning. He can't easily catch and pass these other cars now.
@@DetectiveTrupo203 it’s just combined with the fact that he was half a second up in qualifying, I thought he would start driving around people, but that’s crazy, they need Perez more than ever
This is the kind of season i was expecting when these new regs were implemented.
Sadly, cars are beginning to be impacted by dirty air a lot more which is impacting on-track passing without DRS.
What new regs ??
@@toolegittoquit_001 do you live under a rock?
@@zenunogoncalv yeah you can blame that on Toto’s inability to produce a ground effect car that didn’t rattle Lewis around like a maraca.
Did you all see Wolf..,he was celebrating more Ham win in Silverstone than here double win...he didnt even smile..like he knew...
My thought exactly, he did some post race interviews and I was wondering why is he so subdued. He definitely knew
Very weird indeed.
We said exactly the same.
And Lewis didnt even look at George in the cool down room. No eye contact whatsoever.
Lol yea, some ppl are saying it's tire wear but common.... they have all the used sets of tires (FIA takes them after every race)
It was Lewis day.
- 44 Race Laps
- 44 Lewis Hamilton Car
- 44 FIA Report.
The fuel is drained before weighing the car. The actual car was 1.5kg under weight... embarrassing from mercedes
Lando won't be competing for a championship as long as he continues to lose spots in the first lap of the race... Had he not lost 3 spots he would have certainly been right there helping McLaren fight for the win... Oscar is really starting to pressure Lando for the top spot on the team...
Very true. Lando and his starts are just not it. The amount of time they have in the sim to practice starts and the like just makes me scratch my head when it comes to Lando's starts.
It's a mystery to me how anybody's surprised about Lando buckling under pressure. Piastri is much more cool headed, when push comes to shove he'll be the one to deliver for McLaren imho.
Team orders or not, in Hungary Max, Lewis or Seb (Senna and Shumacher too) would've won the race first then worried about consequences later, Lando just doesn't have that killer edge in him and unless he is given a dominant car I don't see him winning a championship in his career.
@@kingofzed7558 I don-t see him winning with a dominant car either, Piastri is going to be better than him sooner rather than ater
@@kenpachi1989 I think the last few races we have started to see Piastri's true potential, if he develops a ruthless streak Lando will be an after thought
When the officials find an irregularity on one car, do they automatically check the teammates car as well?
Yep, they checked hamiltons car.
I beleive every car is weighed, and they select 5 cars at "random" for further inspections like plank wear, like Lewis and Charles in COTA last year
No they do not..... They didn't check George's car last year in Austin when Lewis was DQ'd for plank wear..... It's not absolute. I think they checked all podium winners today (not sure if that's protocol).
Fia says they pick at "random" but its mostly always top 3 plus 2 cars and they checked both merc cars and ham's was fine but gorge's was underweight
@@eloeloheyo they checked the top today and bottas car, couldn't see the 5th car but them 4 the checked after the race.
That race was intense didn't expect this to happen though
Toto knew. The post race interview told the story without words. Between the fuel weight that had to be drained and the 20 more laps on tires loosing rubber weight every lap it adds up. They were figuring a 5th place finish with very little post race inspection.
Heartbreaking for George, but happy for Lewis in a race he deserved a win in
George deserved the win. That being said Lewis raced very well in quals and today. Both of those being said ferrari's failure to block him with sainz threw away their chance at having leclerc take a podium.
@@roberthsieh8639Yeah either one was worthy of winning. Should have been a 1-2 though. At least f1 isn't boring anymore 😊
@@roberthsieh8639 nope if george car wasnt 1.5 kg lighter they wouldve caught up with him
George didnt really deserve the win. He didnt pass the competition on track. Just gambled on a risky strategy that didnt even work out in the end
The track doesn't shred tyres actually, it got resurfaced, and it shows in 24H of Spa that the tarmac was actually not bad for tyres at all
You’re telling me they a full room of engineers and not think about the weight of George’s car? Jeez. They could’ve asked him to save fuel and have Lewis go through. Worst case he could’ve still ended up 3rd.
true its very unfortunate
they weigh the car without fuel in it
the weight is measured without fuel
No cool down victory lap YOU HAVE NO MARBRES 😂
@@dimglow is that so? I don’t think so. They weigh them straight up and not remove any liquids. But if that’s that case yeah that’d be curious, they started the race underweight.
Heartbroken, atleast Lewis was there to "pick up the pieces" 😉
im happy for lewis but this was a george masterclass
@@F1Unchained definetely he drove 75% of the race on that compound
@@F1UnchainedLewis was faster than him, I don't know how it's supposed to be a masterclass from Russel, Overhyped.
@@TechLoverforever313
I mean he was, he made the call and held himself. Even Lewis complimented that.
@@TechLoverforever313 Hamilton had an extra pit stop. Of course he was faster. What a braindead take.
I usually agree with you but what you're missing is that Lewis was not racing George..... that meant that early in the last stint he sat behind George, waiting to defend the charge from piastri. If Lewis was aware that George was going 1stop, early in his last stint he would have attacked George and passed him. And piastri would have charged earlier as well. George was lucky on track. So I'm not going with all praise to George, i was actually upset during the race the he was knowingly screwing up his team mate's race, and potentially setting them up to be passed by piastri.
Those are my exact sentiments - Lewis had no way of knowing George was going with the one stop. Until it was pretty late in the race.
@@antoniekimani He knew George was one stop with over 13 laps to go. Not true.
@@markallendor6237 Why not true? The sides of the garage do not relate that information. They are racing each other!
The average delusional #teamLH fan.
@markallendor6237 based on your assessment that means that Lewis knew that George was going 1 stop even before George made the decision 😮... wow
If George’s car hadn’t been underweight , not only would he had not been able to keep Lewis behind, but he wouldn’t have been able to finish on those hard, because the car was lighter, therefore that caused the tyres to grain less
but 4 other drivers also did the one stop strategy too and got to finish the race.
However they did have less time on their hard tyres due to pitting later:
Russell pit lap 11
Stroll pit lap 13
Alonso pit lap 14
Tsunoda pit lap 16
Magnussen pit lap 18
Do you think ToTo knew something was wrong? Considering their struggles, He didn't look super happy at the end of the race.
Of course he knew. The fact that the car was too "perfect" at weigh in tells us that Mercedes knew...because someone did not syphon the correct amount out (2 L were still in the car). This was definitely not an "oversight" or a "mistake" - anyone believing that also believes in Santa Claus.
because he knew how Lewis would feel.
He is a calculating jerk.
If Lewis knew what Merc were up to, he would have pushed more.
Russell's car was also lighter which was saved his tires
Lewis is not "in with the in crowd" anymore at Mercedes since he'll be driving a very red car next year. Actually the team has given him better equipment than I anticipated.
If this, if that, maybe this, maybe that. George was faster to the flag, end of story. Merc got caught with an illegal car, so he got dsq. And the margin the car was underweight does not effect tyre wear enough to make any real difference.
@@NWA_1919 But ... running 34 laps vs 15 or 20 should make some difference in tire weight loss. I mean tires do wear. The red flag for me was that Toto and the lads in the garage seemed rather subdued after the one-two finish. Almost as if they knew there might be a problem. If Russell had finished 4th or 5th, his car may not have gotten the weight check. Maybe that's what MB were counting on.
@@michaeldelaney7271 ofc it does make a difference. Normal running for hard tyre at spa is ~20 laps. Russel did 34. So 14 more laps over normal. That would be maybe 100-200g per tyre rubber lost. So at max 1kg. So even with normal 2 stop strategy, he would have been underweight. The teams use ballasts to make sure the car is within the weight limit. They probably made a calculation error for georges car. Similiar thing happened to lewis in cota last year, with the plank wear. The team calculated the ride height wrong and lewis lost a podium.
A number of TPs commented the tire deg wasn't as high as they were expecting.
What a race, what a season!
They just had to put a 2 KG piece of tungsten into the car during a pit stop.
😂 was thinking the same. Fia has to have some kind of weighing bridge at the pit entry and exit and there must be a new rule for cars to maintain a certain distance when in a pit lane to allow for the weighing time.
No one would notice 😂
Maybe an Inanimate Carbon Rod
And that’s why you would never race any type of car cheating is cheating and they are the signs of a person who has no morels or respect for rules you must be a great person to have as a friend bet none of your mates trust you
Brother, your content is great. But we really gotta work on your pronunciation of European countries… lol. “Bell-Ge-En” was like nails on a chalkboard.
i speak a european language but i mix between english and euro pronunciation
Nah fam that’s what makes him unique.
Your belgian pronounciation was so perfect finnish I thought for a moment you were a fellow finn 😄
Toto was too subdued after a 1-2 finish and it appears Merc was trying to deceive the stewards and got caught. 😮😮😮😮😮
This is closer to the truth imo.
Agreed .. Toto's reaction was odd
@LDTOK-zs8oz I doubt that Merc would intentionally cheat for 3.3 pounds, that is not enough for a noticeable difference.
I think they might have put the wrong part on or missed something out because 1.5 kg is massive amount
the probably forgot to add back a balance weight to their car. it will give Merc a lot of good data though because it proves their car is pretty fast with the right down force load and balance.
Not watching this live and hearing the result of the DQ for car 63 (at the time I didn't know this with George Russell) then watching the post race interviews with George telling lovely stories about how great the strategy was (which was him pretty much patting himself on the back as even the team towards the end were asking if he actually wanted to go ahead with the strategy), hearing Russell's post race radio comments (again about the amazing strategy) was absolute gold, I don't even feel bad for Russell, he knew what he had to do to ensure that the car would meet regulations but chose not to. Maybe I am just mean, though I am no team Hamilton person I still think he was the best driver on the day and get his just rewards! I liked Russell when he was at Williams but since coming to Mercedes we have seen his real side and I find days like this poetic. I will probably be struck down by lightening tomorrow, but I will still smile about this!
Unfortunate for Russell. But rules are rules 🤷🏾♂️
agreed its sad tho
It's unfortunate he was CHEATING
Where was rules in 2021 at Abu Dhabi 😂 but yeah I agree
. but the puishment is too severe. I'm in my 60's and was a lifelong F1 fan until Masi messed up a few years ago. I've hardly followed F1 since and today is just another reason why I'm not bothered about being an F1 fan anymore. George's entire weekend written off for 1.5kg. Stupid laws, dumb officials, dumb decisions, race results being altered after the event... just some of the reasons I've totally lost interest in the sport after so many decades of following every race
@cmartin_ok 1.5 kg is 2+ seconds over a race. Russel was .5 ahead. If you think 1.5 kg isn't a big deal you're ignorant about f1. Go watch something else
I think it's a ballast issue more than tyre wear. Aston Martin also did a 1 stop and they didn't have this issue.
They only check or inspect a few cars Aston Martin might not been checked
@@seanfrip9036they check every car mate
It's a cheating issue😂
@@seanfrip9036Nope, they weighted all cars in Belgian GP post race and all of them passed the weight check except for George’s car and the random extensive tests like oil flow sensor were only carried out on Charles car as per the FIA document 45
Tough one for George, even though I’m not a fan, great heads up at the time, all to go to waste..
Had nothing to do with fuel. They take the fuel out before they weigh the cars. It seems like it was a combination of tire wear and plank wear.
Except merc tried to leave extra fuel in to deceive the FIA. CHEATERS
You really think the smart ass engineers and official wouldn't guess that and checked.
Cant be tire wear bro
@@Hamd_F1_Shorts I was only stating what I heard was reported. That’s why I said seems like. Did new info come out?
Incorrect. Merc tried to pull a fast one on the scrutineers by leaving fuel in and got caught. This is gonna get much messier.
Merc Mechanics forgot to shove 1.5kg ballast (solid/liquid) into Russell's overalls during the team-driver hugging BEFORE weighing drivers in parc ferme.
Jk, but if rules are rules, why is this tradition allowed?
Would have made no difference they weigh the car and driver seperate what a silly comment
Although I'm a Max fan, I'm gutted for George. He drove a flawless race. Well done, George Russell. 🏁
Knew something was off when the last 5 laps George found pace out of nowhere. Not George fault but Lewis deserved win.
Both were great
@@F1Unchainedone was great in a car made .2 a lap faster by being underweight
I fault George, it was a bad strategy. He won on track because Lewis and piastri (and their engineers) thought they were racing each other.... if they understood early that George would have affected the outcome in that way ( especially Lewis) he would have been passed very early in the last stint. It was a good con job
I’d like this but it already had 44 likes
Yup plus the looks on Lewis and Oscar's faces after the race. Something was up.
man today i saw mercedes fan's hate towards russel even aston martin fans do not give this much hate to stroll.
Yeah those "fans" are bots, don't listen to their spam
Not Merc fans. CultLH.
Russel has no integrity, he and Mercedes pull one on hamilton, you undercut other teams not your team mate. Also not informing hamilton that he is racing russel for the win hamilton was fighting oscar and charles 1.5 kilos dont look like mistake.
@@devonledgister3997 blame merc for it. Russel did what he felt was the best for his race. if u are racing u are racing for the win. maybe there is internal politics against hamilton or maybe not. blame the strategists or merc officials. For him his tyre was good for one stop so he goes for that. his tyres were like two times or a bit less older than hamilton so there can be some weight loss there and again may be the plank. crofty or brundle, someone was saying that driver should not go flat out at de rouge at early laps to save plank ware. maybe russle pushed hard there.
So dont call out russel for that. he got disqualified eventually so what are u bitter about. He is the future of mercedes as of now he will get the preference. compared to hamilton who has 7 titles and 100+ win this win was more tempting for George, so ya he capitalized.
@@avishek007Mercedes shot themselves in the foot by trying to undermine Lewis.
If he finished he might not even get checked because they check winner and a think 3 other cars at random.
Russell discrepancy made them check Lewis car and he passed. It might get worse from here on.

I am gutted for George. I think he made a very gutsy call. What I have seen elsewhere, and I absolutely hate this, is that some really stupid hot heads are saying MB cheated deliberately. Any how, it was a good race. I am also a bit peeved that LH considered that MB acted against him once again. This is getting petty.

@@Themusefan4life - Haters spewing toxicity towards MB also need to grow up. MB have admittd an error but they certainly did not cheat as this would have DSQ'd both cars. Thing is that those crying the loudest are exactly those woke who scream conspiracy theories and their own projected victim mentality.
Now let's look at the weight of a new F1 tyre, a used F1 tyre and an F1 tyre that was kept on the car for much longer than recommended.
I would hazard a guess that, if Russell had fitted a 2nd set of tyres instead of going long on the 1st changed set, the car wouldn't have come in too light.
He only needed 370 grams per tyre.
The fuel is drained when the cars are weighed.
In this case FIA was uncompromising. If only they were always this solid 😉
measured numbers are easy to understand
So unfortunate. Such a great display by George.
I felt this win belonged to Hamilton, but I didn't want Russ to dq, pretty harsh. But tbh, being 1.5kg lighter is not really that small considering how close was the race.
It isnt small at all. About 2 tenths a lap in weight. Plus he would have been over the weight by not lifting and coasting, so would have been longer on the throttle
@@dylanburston7453they weigh the car without fuel. It’s on Mercedes.
@@rawallen9715doesn’t change the fact that it makes the car faster
@@rawallen9715 Its on mercedes either way
2 seconds over a race distance.
At any other track I think he would have picked up enough marbles to clear min weight.
Spa makes the drivers turn into the pit exit immediately after T1. So not enough time to pick up rubber for additional weight.
100%
I don’t think so, 1.5 kg is waaaay more than you could make up with marbles. Realistically, this looks like an oversight on merc’s part
That doesn't explain why Fernando didn't have this problem with his one-stop. Explain it.
Nah it was a set up issue from the beginning read the fia doc about it, it shows that merc has tried to deceive fia and knew that the car was underweight
My Alonzo also doing the one stop strat, yet receiving no recognition. Really sums up his career
his fans and verstappen's fans were made to believe they can win with subpar cars....they are being exposed.
Tsunoda, Stroll and KMag also did a one stop, and even less recognition!
But they didn't get points, whereas Alonso did.
Any driver can get better tire wear in a lighter car.
Love your data driven content- simply my favorite channel- just wanted to point out that on count back to Canada both Max and Lewis are even on points at 108
It honestly just feels like the right move . Lewis literally did EVERYTHING right this race
So did George. The team cheated, not George. Yes, George had the advantage, but he did everything right just like Lewis…
@@Real_ghostboi💯
Unfortunately though, doing everything right is not a guarantee that you're going to come out on top.
No he did not.
If he did everything right he would have done that strategy call George made.
George deserved the win he drove amazing and made that amazing strategy call.
@@jakob.k_design he also gained like 2.5 seconds across the race from being underweight, so he probably should've been third anyways
From other reports Mercedes knew the car was under weight cause they had tried to tell FIA officials that they had empty the gas out the car before they weighed the car and when FIA checked there was still gas in the car. So Mercedes tried to get them to weight the car with that extra weight from the gas

So he had to cheat to hold off Hamilton, all makes sense now🤣🤣
I am so sick of finding out who, not by racing, but who is in favor with the stewards. F-1 has become a soap opera. Not racing.
This problem has always existed. I think the fairest way is to conduct a strict inspection of each car after the race to check which one complies with the rules, rather than just checking the weight and then randomly checking which ones have problems.
My bois George and Toto deserved this for trying to backstab Lewis
What I Like about your Channel is.... it is not a bunch of BS Click Bait to just get you watch a video that has nothing to do with the title. Your Videos are informative and truthful, which is not common in most F1 Media. Look forward to future Topics ...
I hope this doesn’t affect George’s mentality going into the summer break and after. He said he felt really relaxed just flowing in the last few laps but this might just disturb his mental “place”
Why would it? And if it does then he is in the wrong sport. There's a guy on the grid who lost a whole championship illegally do to no fault of his but we move on.

@@escos0410 Oh quit it, come back when you know a thing or two. Laughing at this comment only shows how low your IQ is
@servethesongs
He certainly mispronounced it, but your comment isn't very smart either.
The word was Belgian, not Belgium.
You would think it was George who was leaving to go to Ferrari with that kind of Merc FU! That's the second time they have cost George a victory last one being when he stood in for Lewis against Bottas
George has been so unlucky this season. Lost points in Australia because of Alonso's antics, lost a likely win from pole in Britain because of a water leak, was on the back foot in Hungary because of a strategy mistake in qualy and now lost a win because Mercedes underfueled his car. Seems like he used all his luck to win in Austria
Let’s be honest. Australia was George’s fault only. Racecraft should now be penalised. But true, now it was really unfortunate, he worked that car to the max. Fully deserved the win.
Karma !
George wasn't going to win at Silverstone, he was 4th when he retired due to struggling in the rain. It rained more after his retirement.
@@claudiustanciu05 he drove well for sure. But then with that weight difference, even Albon would have surprised everyone.
@@eoaker23 The water leak could have played a part at it.
I would say my favourite whould be the "How Lewis Hamilton won the British GP" because I was waiting so much to see what your reaction was to predicting the winner.
I can't say I was disappointed in the slightest, tou looked proud af.
Only came here to hear this guy pronounce Belgian.
I think Hamilton should have won but I feel so bad for George none of this was his fault
It wasnt a brilliant strategy call.
Once Russell saw lewis pit, switching to a one stop was an easy decision to make.
I mean at that point Russell had nothing to lose.
And a one stop was his only chance of finishing ahead of lewis, considering how difficult to overtake on this track was.
Also for some reason merc waited a good 4 laps after Lewis pitted before telling him what Russell was doing.
Yeah, I forgot about that! Merc did wait a looooong time before informing SLH that. Also suspicious.
This season delivers so much! Though I think Max will still be crowned this year, having this many different winners is great to watch!
When I first saw the 2024 RB, I thought we were doomed.
0:01 How on Earth did this guy pronounce "Belgian"??
Bel-gee-ian 😬
@@shaftdrive7567 wow, this level of stupidity is literally giving me a weird pain in my brain. You're from the US I presume? And before you ask, yes, that is the correct way of shortening "you are".
NEW F1UNCHAINED VIDEO, LETS GOOOO
How do we love the sport when we don't know who won after a checkered flag? I was a hardcore fan and never missed a single session since 2004-05 until recently, when F1 had a Red Bull-Mercedes-Red Bull sandwich. Also, regulation didn't help the sport if you called it something where you cannot pass a driver without pressing a button on your steering wheel or have a one-step softer tyre. When you start a TV to watch GP, all you can see is cars running around the circuit in a certain order without challenging anyone. It pains me a lot to see once a golden racing competition becomes a total sh*t show. I didn't even watch Grand Prix's from the last few years except in 2021 in Abu Dhabi, when we went racing. I subscribed to this channel to get the results and overall information on what's going on.
Come back in 2026. The new cars could be more fun to watch.
Toto owes him $10m in damages for this and shorting him of fuel during the recent qualifying.
@@ErikS308 nope they where trying to give George an edge and it failed all those unusual errors I feel Mercedes doesn’t believe in George that’s why there’s all this hype about whom will be replacement driver
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤WE LOVE YOU LEWIS
Had verstappen not had the grid penalty, he would have easily won.
idk, he was actually kinda slow, sure he was in dirty air but he didn't really have the pace on anyone except perez
@@houseking9211 he did drive up to fourth from 11th, no one else gained that much. While the leaders had clear traffic he had to battle to advance. Put him up front he’d be untouchable.
Max has the penalty because he has worn out his engines spending to much time pushing his car to over the edge. Good chance he doesn't qualify 1 with an old engine. Also, he doesn't leave anyone behind with an old engine. He earned the grid penalty and doesn't have the rocket to pass everyone like the last couple years.
1.5kg makes a diff in F1
Love the channel love the summary great info especially about the different ways a car can come in under weight. It isn’t the first time or won’t be the last.
Lewis let him win and then this 🤔
8:41 we should not have to justify the penalty, the rules are the rules, any bending is simply illogical. If you are below the weight even by the slightest it is breaking the rules.
Belggean?
TF... Imnin American and no one in America ever pronounces Belgian that way...
Belggean wafflessss??🤣
Yo dude, the car underweight had nothing to do with not enough fuel left.
They are weighed after the fuel tank is drained.
But don’t u think that 1.5kg is a significant amount of weight and it could have impacted the way he had better exits than hamilton but lewis deserves the win
Not really because he had quite a excess of fuel in the car at the end. Maybe lewis driving style leads to him using less fuel, as they asked lewis to lift and coast quite early on. So they expected a safety car yet george had 1.8 extra litres of fuel, but lewis had saved some, so that extra weight is more than the difference in fuel.
2 thenths a lap is what a kilo is worth
@dylanburston7453 No, it's not. 10kg is worth 3 tenths of a second. 1.5kg is worth 0.050 per lap or just over 2 seconds for the entire race.
@@beany1987 Acording to F1 itself its around 1 tenth per lap, depending on the circuit.
Its much closer to 2 tenths than it is to a half of a tenth.
Using that george gained 6.5 seconds during the race (if not more factoring the fact other drivers lifted and coasted more to maintain fuel) that puts him behind both Lewis and Oscar, with Leclerc just behind
@@dylanburston7453 aston martin using the mercedes engine last year in Hungary, the data shows last season that 1kg of fuel = 0.030 around that lap.
Why did the FIA not check Hamiltons car as well,?Wolf's expression at the end of the race was bland because he knew the fix was in to ensure Hamilton wins to try to keep him from Ferrari.
Are you an idiot?
They did check - Hamilton’s car was 798 - so ok. The scrutineers usually, I believe, check all 3 podium cars
It is very strange there 1,5 kg (or more) difference between 2 indetical cars. It is not the fuel and it seems to be too much difference for tire wear.
New viewer, now subscribed. Good analysis! No worries about pronunciation, your American English is almost flawless. Envious of anyone fluent in more than one language.
Not expected but not surprised. Russel cant come near SLH when it comes to racecraft or tire wear management. AD21 and mercs poor car the last few year has mad lewis a much better driver.
Great race, though. Thanks to MB and George for giving my driver the last of the points . And my second driver the win.
hamilton deserved the win
of course not
@@daphneschuring5810He did, George was driving an illegal car
I mean he did but you cant deny George would have deserved to win that if the car wasnt illegal??? George did nothing wrong
@@CHALKSA cheating what every Mercedes does again and again.
george had a great 2nd stint, and it was primarily his initiative that got him the one-stop stategy, but i feel like he got quite lucky too: at the start of his 2nd stint he was behind perez and ahead of max, so max couldnt get past him (drs train), and since perez was slow russell could semi-manage his tyres for a few laps. Then at lap 26 when lec and ham pitted it put piastri on a similar runplan, and lando and max had to pit again since they were behind russell and couldnt make it past him. all of the above gave russell both the track position and the poor result of p7 if he was to pit again, hence the one stopper. idk i feel like hamilton controlled the entire race vs the rest of the top 8 so well that it was discouraging seeing him try to catch up to his teammate that had a different strategy and kind of coasted his way to the end. disqualification was really sad regardless.
Lewis drove a great race from start to finish and deserved that win! The team need to start overruling George
Overrule a better strategy call? That's what Ferrari does. 😂
@@titancheat if he pitted he would have finished with more rubber on his tires and probably wouldn’t have been disqualified for having an underweighted car
@@titancheat his incredible call that got him DQed because of his higher tire wear?
The first time he said it I thought it was a joke. The second time I knew he was serious. Brother, that is not how you pronounce Belgium.
