Oscar Piastri believes his qualifying result cost him victory at the Belgian Grand Prix after recovering from fifth on the grid to eventually be classified second. George Russell originally led home a Mercedes 1-2 ahead of Lewis Hamilton, but Russell was later disqualified for having an underweight car, with excessive tire wear on a one-stop strategy understood to be a potential factor.
