The biggest losers from F1’s Belgian GP non-race
OPINION: Formula 1's controversial decision to call a result after the Belgian GP that never got going due to persistently poor weather was good news for George Russell, as he scored a shock maiden podium. But the Williams driver aside, there were plenty who lost out as a result of Spa's washout - not least F1 itself
While a number of drivers and fans have been upset about the way three laps behind the safety car was enough for the Belgian Grand Prix to be declared, unhappiness about what happened wasn’t universal.
Max Verstappen and Red Bull came away with a victory that helps close up the F1 championship battle by a few points, and the most joyous man of all was George Russell, who took his maiden podium finish.
