Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton claimed that he felt sympathy for his teammate George Russell after the latter was disqualified from the race and his race win at the Belgian GP was taken away by the FIA. The young Brit pulled off a masterclass in strategy as he did a one-stop strategy to cross the line in P1 while everyone around did a two-stop race including Hamilton.
However, the FIA race stewards found his W15 to be underweight by 1.5kg of the allowed minimum weight of 798kg and took his race victory away, giving it to the seven-time world champion, who finished less than half a tenth behind him on the road.
Lewis Hamilton on his social media mentioned that he had ‘mixed feelings’ about scoring his 105th race win in F1 and wrote on his Instagram post:

“Maybe he’s due a bit of good luck?”: Former champion on Lewis Hamilton winning the F1 Belgian GP due to George Russell’s disqualification
“Mixed feelings for today’s result. Obviously happy to get the win but I feel for George and it’s disappointing for the team not to get the 1-2. A lot of positives to take from today, though.”
“At the start of the weekend, we didn’t expect to be at the front or the pace we had, so it’s great to see just how much progress has been made and that we are in the fight. We take all these positives with us into the break and will come back a stronger team ready to keep the momentum going.”

Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton stated that he was ‘disappointed’ that the German team lost out on a 1-2 after George Russell’s DSQ, but emphasized that there were a lot of positives for the former world champions.
As per F1.com, the 39-year-old said:
“It is of course disappointing for the team to lose the 1-2 but there are lots of positives to take away from today. The car was feeling good, and we had a much better pace than we expected. Several cars seemed similar in terms of performance but once we had got ahead, we were able to maintain that position.”
“We committed to the two-stop strategy and covered those directly behind us. George was able to make the one-stop work and, although I got close to him in the final few laps, I was unable to get past in the dirty air,” he added.
Despite Lewis Hamilton’s subdued reactions after the Belgian GP, Mercedes have now won three of the past four Grand Prix in the 2024 season heading into the summer break.
Hamilton also became the only driver apart from Max Verstappen to win two or more races this year and closed in on Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz in the driver’s standings and trails him by just 12 points.
