George Russell FURIOUS at Mercedes after TERRIBLE MISTAKE at Belgian GP! 

Hamilton fought Checo, past LeClerc and drove brilliantly. He got the win he deserved.

IT DONT MATTER IF YOU WIN BY AN INCH OR A MILE .... KILOS ARE KILOS

Where does George say that he's "DONE"? Where are his "furious" comments? Another F1 channel to block...

No mistake at all. Mercedez knew exactly what they were doing and kept it under wraps from Hamilton to favor Russell. But they were caught with their trousers down and that's why they are pissed.

pick up enough rubber?? there is no cooldown lap at Spa.

So, I get it now. Mercedes tried to cheat the rule by only taking out enough fuel to meet the requirement, and not completely drain all the fuel which would cause the car to be under weight. So they knew that they were underweight. The only real question is, when did they know, did they know at the beginning of the race, because trying to blame it on tire wear doesn’t cut it!

Why call it superb race performance when we now have the facts that his car was lighter during the race. Am sorry to say that is obvious advantage for him during the race.

Amazing that FIA can correctly interprete the rules they set and apply the correct decision when Red Bull is not involved

I think mercedes screwed up from the time the car was having water pressure damage

how can people that claim to know Formula one say that there is a cooldown lap at spa ? weird.

Those clickbaits are a shame 😡

😂😂😂😂😂🤷🏻‍♂️ it kind of funny how this worked out.

merc intentionally left some fuel in and tried to trick FIA. fia should investigate and penalise the team.

There's no cool down lap in that race.

Well ToTo said he wish he had two winners 🏆. Seems he got his wish congratulations Lewis very well deserved

I’m still skeptical about Lewis not able to overtake George as the distance was mere 0.565 seconds at times. Something’s wrong here!

What would be interesting to know why Hamilton accelerated slower out of La Source than Russell on older tyres.Thats the reason why he couldn't overtake him down the Kemmel Straight. Probably only the guy responsible for the ECU could answer that.

I wonder why Toto wasn’t happy when they pointed the camera at him! He knew deep down inside that car was never at the weight it supposed to be! They tried to play the FIA and keep fuel in the car to Keep weight! Bye 👋 George I can’t wait to see you cry about next weekend you race. Mercedes screwed over there top driver and couldn’t stand Lewis spanking George again this season. Wow did the driving gods step in and say here George suck on this! 😂

Spa Francorchamps does not have a cool-down lap. It's a long lap, so they re-enter the Pit Lane from the exit end. Nobody 'picks up' much rubber in that short distance.

Mercedes forgot there is no cool down lap because the laps are over 7K long. This prevented Russell from picking up rubber marbles to add a little weight back, but I think the car would have still been slightly underweight.

They knew they were underweight because they left fuel in the car to make up the weight!

I think Russell was aware of this which was done to assist him in the race against his team mate because on this occasion he was out qualified.

Mercedes know what they were doing

Shame on Toto and Mercedes making Lewis come in and allowing Russell to stay out - They tried to steal the race win from Sir Lewis but justice was served today - Stop sabotaging Sir Lewis Mercedes!

Mistake? More like cheating over the course of the race that 1.5kg less has a much bigger effect than people think. All Russel had to do was take the second pit stop and he likely wouldn't have been checked. Plus to the best of my knowledge a set of fresh tyres were used in the second weighing to discount the effects of no cool down lap, the car was deliberately under weight and MB knew that. MB did not contest the DQ because they knew they would have a lot of awkward questions to answer, pretty underhand of MB and toto

With all the personnel 'keeping an eye' on things, not one of them, even the strategists, didn't think about the 'deg' on the tyres, a subject that is talked about quite often. It is dumbfounding how this co.. up was able to ruin George's race win. He SO deserved to win the race, and what a magnificent race he drove.

Now you all can understand why Toto looked visibly unhappy with Russell's decision.

Can someone explain what he means by picking up rubber/marbles on the cool down? Is this common or even effective?

If a car did the 44 laps without a safety car deployment or VSC, etc., it would burn less fuel if it stopped twice rather than 0nce. Going down the main straight at maximum speed consumes the most fuel during the lap at most tracks. If Russell's car was setup for a two stop, three stint run, without disruption, it is very possible that he could have used up that fuel on a 43 rather than a 42 full throttle front straight passes.

Russell now realizes he's done at Mercedes.

Lewis was not informed on time that GR was in the lead. If would have made different choices

LEWIS DESERVED THAT WIN!!!! He fought fair and square. Sad for Russell, his time will come.

How can the car be 1.5kg under if they took 2.8 litres of fuel out.

how can he be furious at Mercedes??? his car was 1.5 under weight than the regulation and 2 kg lighter than Hamiltons car, so if Mercedes made his car lighter than his teammates car purposely, that means they gave him the edge advantage (overall this 2kg would amount to 4-5 seconds advantage) so without this 4-5 seconds advantage i don't think he would have being able to win. or if this weight loss was caused by using his tires longer than everyone, that would not still be solely Mercedes fault as he was the one wanted to follow the one stop strategy. as far is this ''cooling lap'' is concern as everyone is yapping about it, there is not cooling lap in spa. so his strategy was doomed from the get go. i watched the race live, and you can clearly see toto was not as animated as his usual self when his drivers just finished 1-2. he knew there was something coming. (why else would they try to leave some fuel in the car trying to trick the FIA) i think Mercedes did not anticipated a win coming to the race but they wanted to give Russel the edge, Hamilton did great to put his car on the leading position and get out from the DRS zone in the early laps, his race was with Piastri in the third stint as he thought Russel had to stop (that was confirmed during his radio with his engineer), then Mercedes decided to go with the one stop strategy for Russel. whether it be of the strategy or Mercedes making his car lighter purposefully, Russel has no reason to be mad at Mercedes, because both the scenarios give him an advantage. if we are to believe the email leak that reveals Mercedes are trying to sabotage Hamilton, this all make sense, so Russel should just sit back and enjoy it till it last.

Toto should be fired. Unacceptable

There is NO cool down lap at SPA!!! Who are you?

I just signed George Russell's F1 cap, and sold it for $2,000 to a Belgian.

Did he know that his car was lighter and was able to do more laps due to reduction in tire degradation?

Seems the best way to avoid this in the future is to weigh the car without tyres. If everybody has been getting around this by picking up rubber from the track, then surely everyone has been running underweight all this time. Edit; upon further consideration perhaps all cars should be weighed, unfueled, and with no tyres BEFORE the race begins?

Can you pick-up a kilo and a half of rubber??

Greed is a funny thing we have a saying that crave all lose all that what happened to Russell.

Surely they, Pirelli at least, that estimates the amount of rubber lost from the tires by going with the one stop strategy. I just like to know what this contributed to the 1.5 kilos they were short. But I don't hear that being discussed yet. And Toto hasn't said what mistake the team made. In any event between now and the end of this season maybe the only opportunity that Lewis has to win races as at this point it seems pretty clear he is moving to an inferior team.

1.5 kg makes a huge difference time wise

If you nail your own drivers, I understand Russel get very angry. They lose 18 points for the constructors too. This was really very stupid.

Got to grin at people saying rules is rules...1.4 kgs on a car toward the very end of the race, a is like car drivers getting a ticket for doing 70.3 mpg on a motorway and being banned...

What cool down lap? There wasn't a cool down lap. Please do your research before you post !! He could not pick up stray rubber - it might have helped ... if it is allowed.

Verstappen never gets his car weighed 😂😂😂

Oh wow love the emphasis you placed on saying *Team MATE* guess I know where that conspiracy is going.

Funny because I’m furious with George for trying to snake a win from his teammate. That’s what he did. As soon as Lewis went in the pits George says I’m doing a one stop. Reminded me of zandvoort. And they made Lewis come in but let George stay out? I’m losing a lot of respect for the Mercedes management.

Mercedes could have 2 stopped him, like everybody else.

He didn’t collected the rubber on the way back

This is absolutely dumb! The minimum car weight should never include tires and fuel!

It was Russel problem. He did not make another pit stop which could have made the crew load up some more gas to his car. Russell is actually a cheat. Nobody to blame but himself

RULES ARE RULES. IT WAS AS MUCH GEORGES FAULT AS THE TEAMS

So they remove the fuel and then they weight the car in the end of the race. Why don't they remove the tires as well? Tires are not part of the main car, just like fuel (except the 1kilo). That way it is fair, they only weight the car. What is the point of weighting the tires???

Mercedes did what Tenax did in the series those about to die,he hid water bags for a light chariot to pass weight regulations😂

FURIOUS huh? wow

How wonderfully convenient, eh, Toto... 😉

How do they calculate a cars mass?

Unless i hear him say it this is bull 💩 and there wasn't a cool down lap.

I wonder if they checked all the cars after the race

What was.the weight of Hamiltons car? Why did they left 2.8ltr. in the car? Is MB cheating? Lot's of questions......

Was the car weighed with petrol, as it was raced?

Verstappen left his jock strap[ in his locker for this race.

oh well no great loss it's only George

"Games we play"!

No offended, just saying a series of numbers and reading FIA reports and driver statements is not a good format for a video. Add some of your own personality and options and ditch the script..

What if Lewis wins his 8th this season leaving with a mic drop.

Mercedes don't deserve Russell they are willing to sell him out at the drop of a hat. Lewis has already packed his bags to Ferrari. Instead of looking at just one driver replacement they stupidly greedily want two.

Let the record show that McLaren can hold it's oWn as a championship Winning Team any day of the WeeK. You wouldn't eVen haVe to ask Bruce.

Double check Lewis’s car, then Oliver Wins 🏎️

They didn't drain the entire tank.🤔🤔🤔🤔. I wonder why??!! So the weight difference in reality was even more than 1.5kg.

F1 God's allow the champ to win the rest of these races wis has to beat the racers and the non racers. He is so amazing!

Cheating is Bad and karma will Always strike back 🤣

the dry weight is taken with new tires

Russell tried to mashup Lewis win by being the snake he is. That’s Karma Car 44 Spa Laps 44 Document paper 44 Has Lewis number all over the place. George creating his own strategy just to beat Lewis cost him the race. Serve him right Rules are Rules

If they are trying to swing things to give lewis his 8th as some kind of stunt or just for ratings this sport is not a sport anymore its just a manipulation😢 or Mercedes trying to persuade lewis to stay

Why punish the driver for this? This is stupid.

Nobody can convince me that Lewis wouldn't be able to pass George. Lewis car didn't catch the same speed while behind George's, which makes me believe that Lewis didn't use the overtake mode. I believe that Mercedes told him not to do so, that explains Lewis' long face at the end of the race.

Lewis car should also be weighed

BRILLIANT

He should leave and take the better seat at Mercedes. 🤪

YOU CAN LOVE ❤️ HIM OR HATE HIM SLH WILL REMAIN THE THE KING 🤴 OF FORMEL1 AND NOBODY CAN TAKE IT OUT FROM HIM ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Russell should have drove it though the gravel strap on cool down lap 🤣🤣

God does not like ugly simple!!

Womp womp cry about it George. like honestly why merc even exchange a loyal teammate (Bottas) to a wannabe tryin to beat Lewis. It's great that he was disqualified

Merc knew. Hamilton deserved the win

Ennapa ipdiyelama kadupidipeenga😂😂😂

The mistake is George’s

VIEWER'S CAN GO OUT AND FIGURE THE COUNTRY TOTO COME FROM AND MERCEDES READ 📚 THE HISTORY ABOUT THIS BOTH COUNTRIES 😂😂

Disqualification is overkill considering 1.5 over 798 = 0.2% underweight A time penalty would be more appropriate

cheaters

Stupid rules, i say as a Max fan.

Toto in live race you see his face that have a problem

Russel's car sweath alot, that's why it lost 1,5 kgs
