Six drivers have been disqualified after winning an F1 race
George Russell was denied his third Formula 1 victory as an underweight car saw him disqualified post-race from the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix. Russell became the sixth driver in F1 history to lose a race win through disqualification, after having an underweight car at the Belgian GP. The Mercedes driver had claimed a sensational victory from sixth on the grid, as Russell opted for a risky one-stop strategy while others pitted twice at Spa-Francorchamps. Russell crossed the line just 0.
The problem stemmed from the ballast water tank, aimed to cool the brakes, as it would gradually empty throughout a grand prix but then be replenished afterwards to pass post-race scrutineering, yet both teams were caught doing so. This resulted in Renault's Alain Prost becoming the winner of the 1982 Brazilian GP with the ballast water tanks being permanently banned seven months later.
