      After confirmation from the stewards, Russell’s disqualification meant team-mate Hamilton was crowned the race winner after finishing second at Spa.Hamilton – whose two pits caused him to drop in behind Russell – originally formed an impressive Mercedes one-two after the team ditched their updates on Friday.But the Silver Arrows’ one-stop strategy likely wore down the rubber on Russell’s tyres and is being citied as the main reason the car came in underweight.The W15 weighed in at 796.5kg, 1.5kg beneath the minimum weight required by the sport’s regulations.READ MORE ON F1The car had initially weighed in bang on the 798kg limit, but once the remaining fuel was drained in accordance with the rules, it fell below.The decision gives Hamilton a second victory in three races going into F1’s summer break, with Max Verstappen topping the standings.Mercedes told the stewards that “there were no mitigating circumstances and that it was a genuine error by the team”.Russell reacted to his disqualification with an Instagram post, writing: “Heartbreaking… We came in 1.5kg underweight and have been disqualified from the race.Most read in MotorsportBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERS”We left it all on the track today and I take pride in crossing the line first. There will be more to come.”The stewards’ ruling said: “Car 63 was weighed on the FIA inside and outside scales with both scales showing the same result of 796.5 kg. “The calibration of both scales was confirmed and witnessed by the competitor.”The Stewards determine that Article 4.1 of the FIA Formula 1 Technical Regulations has been breached and therefore the standard penalty for such an infringement needs to be applied.””The car was weighed again on the FIA inside and outside scales and the weight was 796.5 kg.”How the race went for RussellRussell managed to hold off the seven-time world champion on 24 laps on ONE SET of hard tyres to claim his second title of the season.He put in an extraordinary drive to run an unusual one-stop strategy in a race that featured battles throughout the leading places.The 26-year-old started three places behind Hamilton in P6.Oscar Piastri came a close third for McLaren after a late overtake on Charles Leclerc.🏁 Complete F1 2024 race calendar – details on every Grand Prix and start time this year 🏁 Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff believes it could have been the one-tyre strategy that cost Russell his race win.Wolff said: “I would suspect it’s because we ran one tyre throughout for most of the race.”You have to take it on the chin.

      by

      ROY KEANE has blasted “arrogant” drivers who park “wherever they want”.Keane, 52, was speaking on Stick to Football: The Overlap Special, brought to you by Sky Bet, alongside Ian Wright, Jill Scott and Gary Neville.Roy Keane declared people with flash cars who park badly should have their tyres slashedCredit: YOUTUBE / The OverlapWhile on the show, the group were having a Room 101-style discussion.Neville strangely revealed his dislike for barbeques, Avanti Trains, shoehorns and WhatsApp message groups, before Keane added his own ones into the mix.Keane revealed one of his biggest annoyances was people with flashy cars who park without regard for others. The Manchester United icon then made an extreme call that they should have their tyres “slashed” as a consequence of their actions.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLHe said: “People that have a few quid and just park wherever they want – double yellow lines or disabled bays – and just take the ticket off because they can pay that. “It’s rude – we should slash their tyres. It’s so rude, parking where they want – it’s arrogant.”‘I’ve got a nice car, I’ve got a few quid, I’ll park where I want in a disabled space’. They just walk away, they get the ticket [and pay it].”Wright agreed that doing something drastic such as that or keying the car could deter such behaviour in the future.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSHowever, Keane had a slightly different solution, which he suggested he had done already.He added: “Do you know what would be good, if you could break their wipers.Grumpy Roy Keane reveals he HATES shaking hands as Gary Neville ‘reveals his bizarre nickname for himself’mp4″Do I pull the wipers up? Yeah but I don’t break them I just pull it out.”Not off but enough so that when they get into the car they have to get out and fix them.”Neville said he now had a vision of Keane walking around Cheshire village pulling up window screen wipers, to which Keane declared: “That’s exactly what I do.”Especially the one at the back so when they get in the car [they have to go fix it]. Everything you need to know about parking “Or if they park really bad you put their wing mirrors on the other side so when they get in they have to get out and fix the wing mirror.”As well as bad parkers, Keane also opened up on his issue with handshaking, fist bumping and hugging.This prickly response led to Neville joking that Keane’s nickname for himself was “hedgehog”.READ MORE SUN STORIESKeane’s suggestions also included footballers wearing socks above their knees, with holes in the socks or with one side of their shorts rolled up – something he called out England star Declan Rice for.His final addition was footballers coming off the pitch and high-fiving everyone on the bench, with Keane saying he would be too annoyed to do that.Roy Keane’s angriest momentsWhat really ticks off Roy Keane?The Irishman is known for his no-nonsense approach to football.And some particular things really do get on Keane’s wick.It all makes for great entertainment for fans, who love the Man United legend’s take on the beautiful game.But is Keane being a bit too sensitive himself?From smiling players to ABBA, nothing is sacred.And we all know about his dislike for a prawn sarnie…Here are the things that really make Roy Keane angry.
