A 60 place penalty! He probably won't start the race until next Thursday.

Is the front straight really that sloped to the left?

It's really tough for George to have been disqualified from the win after such an impressive drive. He did a brilliant job to hang onto the tyres and defend to the finish. We don't yet understand why the car was underweight following the race but will investigate thoroughly to find the explanation. We expect that the loss of rubber from the one stop was a contributing factor, and we'll work to understand how it happened. We won't be making any excuses though. It is clearly not good enough and we need to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Didn’t know Deep Throttle was still around.

Hasn’t changed much :D

Any idea why Toto was sitting in the garage talking on the phone during the trophy ceremony? I mean, it's not like Mercedes is picking up 1st & 2nd place trophies every weekend. :saywhat:

Mercedes: Plank and tyre wear, plus driver weight, likely trigger of Russell's F1 Belgium DSQ (https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/mercedes-plank-and-tyre-wear-plus-driver-weight-likely-trigger-of-russells-f1-belgium-dsq/10640804/)

Russell knew he was "light" on driver weight before Spa F1 disqualification

Mercedes F1 driver says “processes” were not in place on correct eating strategy ahead of hot Spa event where personal weight loss was factor in Russell’s post-race underweight disqualification
