In a shocking turn of events, George Russell has been disqualified for having an underweight car, handing the victory to Lewis Hamilton! 🚗💨 The FIA announced post-race that the W15 fell below the minimum weight limit of 798 kg after draining fuel. Initially compliant at 798 kg, the car's weight dropped to 796.5 kg, resulting in immediate disqualification. FIA's technical delegate Jo Bauer referred the issue to the stewards, who confirmed the disqualification an hour later. This marks Hamilton's second win in three races, with Piastri and Leclerc moving up to second and third, respectively. Mercedes’ Toto Wolff attributes the issue to Russell's unplanned one-stop strategy and expresses regret over the incident.
