  • Nigel Mansell was once under the weight limit because he trimmed his mustache just prior to the race😅.
  • @Jigds
    Stroll did 32 laps in the Hard just 2 less than Russell yet weighed in Ok. Surely Merc had an Ace up their sleeves which turned out to be a Joker in the end.
  • Probably the most awaited F1 video for many many years. Everyone saying it was just the tyres, won't like that Jolyon is seeing beyond the tyres.
  • @iamskipper
    Let's wait and see how Mercedes will explain this in their debrief release. The only person who could clarify and articulate this confusion is James Allison.
  • @Aoi_Fans
    One thing I found interesting was Merc didn't fight it. They could of gone with the line "something might of come loose during the race." They didn't, it's almost like they knew already.
  • @SandraMWilson
    Establishing a rule for the minimum weight of the car without the tires on it seems like the solution.
  • @WhiteG60
    Remember, they changed the floor out of the car on Friday. I wonder how much difference in weight there is between the two floors? Balast was likely moved around for the super wet Saturday vs dry Sunday and someone just made an error while that was going on.
  • @izabellaklaus
    rules are rules,, amazing how close to the edge the teams play
  • Impressive considering how just a couple of years ago everyone was stripping the paint off the cars to save every gram as they struggled to get down to minimum weight.
  • @LDTOK-zs8oz
    This does not explain the look on Toto's face after Russell crossed the line. Maybe the car was not supposed to run a 1 stop strategy and the car was not ballasted for a 1 stop run.😮
  • I feel the most likely cause for Russel's car being underweight is when Mercedes Friday upgrades proved unworkable, when they reverted to the original spec, they forgot to change the ballast so that the car was in their target weight window.
  • @YGhost_05
    How much years of experience, money or engineers does a team need to not make mistakes like these. Very unforntunate turn of event for Russel.
  • @TheChipMcDonald
    Toto's glum face with a half smile, the moment his team scored a 1-2, is telling...
  • @TNMJAD
    “On a 798 basically 800kg car.” That right there gets you 2kg under 😅
  • @thetony5474
    I was disappointed after my cardio this morning but I took a massive dump and then weighed in light too 👍
  • @brookscurran
    seems like it would be pretty easy to weigh his used tires and a set of new ones and stop all the speculation
  • @saintuk70
    I think it's a joke at Spa not to allow the cooldown lap and see the fans. We had to put up with the protracted journey to the podium in Vegas!!
  • @mgers75
    I gotta think Mercedes knew they were going to be iffy on weight if they continue the 1 stopper strategy. They just thought the risk was worth the reward
  • Sad for him! Drove a massive race with an amazing call! Really unfortunate for him!
  • @Lord_Doro
    Massive error from Mercedes, no way the 1.5 was purely the tire degradation
