    E Sebastian Vettel Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Lewis Hamilton was confirmed as the winner of the Belgian Grand Prix after George Russell was disqualified. Russell initially crossed the finish line first, but his car was found to be underweight at 796.5 kg, which is a violation of Article 4.1 of the FIA Formula 1 Technical Regulations. This regulation mandates that the minimum weight of a Formula 1 car must meet specific criteria to ensure safety and fairness in the competition. Since Russell's car did not comply with this rule, he was disqualified, and the victory was awarded to Lewis Hamilton. This win marked Hamilton's second race victory of the season, following his previous win at the British Grand Prix earlier in the year.
