00:00The 2026 Belgian Grand Prix produced another dramatic chapter in Formula One, but it was one to forget for George
00:09Russell as Mercedes endured a frustrating afternoon at Spa.
00:14Russell's race lasted just one lap after a collision with former teammate Lewis Hamilton, bringing an abrupt end to what
00:23had promised to be a strong weekend for George Russell.
00:28Lewis Hamilton was later handed a time penalty for an unsafe pitch release, but it did little to ease Russell's
00:36disappointment after another costly setback in his championship challenge.
00:42Mercedes' teammate Kimi Antonelli ensured the Silver Arrows still had plenty to celebrate by converting pole position into yet another
00:53victory, fending off fierce pressure from Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc to claim his sixth Formula One win.
01:01The Italian's composed drive strengthened his position in the driver's standings and underlined Mercedes' pace under the new 2026 regulations.
01:13For George Russell, however, Spa represented another frustrating missed opportunity.
01:19The Briton admitted he had become numb after a series of reliability issues and incidents throughout the season so far,
01:27with Mercedes later confirming a technical problem had also contributed to his difficult weekend.
01:34Team principal Toto Wolff backed Russell despite the setback, insisting the team would work to resolve the issues before the
01:42Hungarian Grand Prix.
