George Russell is set to be stripped of his victory at the Belgian Grand Prix after his car was found to be underweight after the race.
The 26-year-old pulled off an incredible one-stop strategy to beat Lewis Hamilton and Oscar Piastri to the line in a dramatic race in Spa.
Russell didn’t appear to be in contention to win the race at the halfway stage until every other driver went in the pits for their second stop.
The Mercedes star opted to stay out, meaning his tyres needed to last 34 laps with others catching him fast.

Hamilton looked on course to overtake his team-mate as he got within DRS range with a few laps remaining.
However, the seven-time world champion was unable to get close enough to make a move before time ran out.
Russell screamed in delight on team radio after securing his second win of the season while Hamilton cut an agitated figure.
However, Russell could now be sensationally disqualified from the race after his car was found to be 1.5kg underweight.
The issue was referred to the stewards, but there’s an expectation that he will be stripped of the win.
