LEWIS HAMILTON admitted he had “mixed feelings” about benefiting from George Russell’s disqualification to claim victory at the Belgian Grand Prix.
Russell was thrown out by the stewards two-and-a-half hours after he beat Hamilton to the chequered flag at Spa-Francorchamps for running an illegal car.
The Mercedes which carried Russell to a surprise win was 1.5 kilograms under the permitted weight allowance and team-mate Hamilton was elevated to top spot.
