Lewis Hamilton says “it affects all of us when one car doesn’t finish”, and adds he “went away on my holiday and I didn’t feel like I won a race”.
After George Russell’s fantastic Belgian Grand Prix win, his car was found to be underweight, and the matter had been referred to the stewards.
The stewards then announced that George has been disqualified, which makes Lewis Hamilton, who finished the race in P2, the new winner.
Ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix, Lewis said the DQ affected the whole team.
“We felt so happy that we had a one-two,” he said.

“It was the first time in a long time. And to be affected by something like that, we all feel the pain because it’s from decisions and processes that we’ve gone through and we’ve missed.
“Ultimately, it affects all of us when one car doesn’t finish, so we lost valuable points. We’re trying to catch up to the Ferraris, so it’s really not ideal.
“George took it very well. And I already said that’s not the way I want to win the race.
“I went away on my holiday and I didn’t feel like I won a race,” Hamilton concluded.
