F1: Russell devastated after disqualification, Wolff apologizes

Mercedes driver George Russell è said he was "heartbroken" about the disqualification that è cost him the Spa Grand Prix victory. "È heartbreaking. We were found underweight by 1.5 kg and were disqualified from the race. Today on the track we gave everything and I am proud to have crossed the finish line first. More such days will come…", he wrote on X.

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff could do nothing but apologize: "We have to accept our disqualification. We clearly made a mistake and we have to learn from it. We will go away from the circuit evaluating what happened and figure out what went wrong. Losing a one-two è frustrating and we can only apologize to George who drove such aì beautiful" race.

Mercedes still finished in first place with Lewis Hamilton: "He's the fastest of the drivers who made two stops and è a deserving winner. Despite the disqualification, there are many positives we can take from this weekend. We had a car that è was the benchmark in today’s race on two different strategies. Just a few months ago, this would have been inconceivable".
