Mercedes have revealed their initial findings which they believe led to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell’s disqualification at the F1 Belgian Grand Prix.

Russell led home teammate168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Lewis Hamilton for a Mercedes 1-2 in Sunday’s race at Spa-Francorchamps but was stripped of victory when his W15 was found to be 1.5 kilograms underweight following the FIA’s ♍standard post-race checks.

Mercedes have now establis❀hed some of the causes that played a factor in Russell’s DSQ, including higher-than-expected plank wear.

“It was obviously very disappointing and un🐻fortunate, particularly after he had driven such a strong race to win from s🦂o far back,” Mercedes trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin said in the team’s latest post-race debrief video.

“We are trying to understand exactly what happened. A lot of that involves us getting the weights of all the different components. The car can lose quite a lot of weight during the race. Y൩ou get tyre wear, plank wear, brake wear, oil consumption. The driver thems🅰elves can lose a lot, and in this particular race George lost quite a bit of weight.

“The cars started the race the same wei🦂ght. Lewis and Ge♌orge were both weighed after qualifying. The cars were within 500 grams.

“George's car was the onꦿly one that had the problem, and it is because thꩲings like the tyre wear was much higher. It looks like we lost more material on the plank.

“We will collect all that data though, look at how 🐲we can refine our processes because clearly, we do not want that to happen in the future.”

Mercedes insist the weight loss would have had a m🍎inimal impact in terms of boosting Russell’s performaꦐnce.

“In terms of pace at the start of the race it is nil because Ge𝔍orge's car and Lewis' car start the race at the same weight,” Sho🧜vlin added.

“Obviously, as George's car was losing weight faster than Lewis' throug🐓hout the race, there is an associated gain with that.

“But you are into the hundredths of a second per lap. It will be very small because when you are talking about amounts li💦ke one or two kilos, they do not amount to a lot of lap time.”&nꦕbsp;
