Motorsport: F1 winner George Russell is dishonored for a car that is too light

According to the regulations, 1.5 kg was missing. The drivers after Russell are moved up a notch and it was another Mercedes driver who now takes home the win. Britain’s Lewis Hamilton is awarded the victory.

At the first weighing of the car, it had a minimum weight of 798 kg (car + driver) but it was not drained of all fuel and at a re-weighing it read 796.5 kg on the scale.
