Mercedes have revealed their initial findings which they believe led to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell’s disqualification at the F1 Belgian Grand Prix.

Russell led home teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton for a Mercedes 1-2 in Sunday’s race at Spa-Francorchamps but was stripped of victory when ﷽his W15 was found to be 1.5 kilograms underweight following the FIA’s standard post-race checks.

Mercedes have now established some of t𒉰he c🏅auses that played a factor in Russell’s DSQ, including higher-than-expected plank wear.

“It was obviously very disappointing and unfortunate, particularly after he had driven such a strong race to win from so far back,” Mercedes trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin said in the team’s latest post-race debrief✅ video.

“We are trying to understand exactly what happened. A lot of that involves us getting the weights of all the different compon🦂ents. The car can lose quite a lot of weight during the race. You get tyre wear, plank wear, brake wear, oil consumption. The driver themselves can lose a lot, and in this particular race George lost quite a bit of weight.

“The cars started the race the same weight. Lewis and George🉐 were both weighed after qualifying. The cars were within 500 grams.

“George's car was the only one that had the problem, and it is because t🌟hings like the tyre wear was much higher. It looks like we lost more mat🔯erial on the plank.

“We will collect all that data though, look at how we can refine our processes because🧸 clearly, we do not want that to happen in the future.”

Mercedes insist the weight loss 💙would have ꧑had a minimal impact in terms of boosting Russell’s performance.

“𒆙In ⛦terms of pace at the start of the race it is nil because George's car and Lewis' car start the race at the same weight,” Shovlin added.

“Obviously, as George's car was losing weight faster than Lewis' throughout the race, there is an associated gain 𒁃with tha𓄧t.

“Bu𒈔t you are into the hundredths of a second per lap. It will be ver꧒y small because when you are talking about amounts like one or two kilos, they do not amount to a lot of lap time.”
