The Briton crossed the finish line first, but was then disqualified due to the car being underweight.
Spa is by far the best performance, without a doubt. Because in Vegas, the first 12 laps were probably the best 12 laps I`ve ever done in an F1 race, but then it was really just about getting to the finish line and keeping the tires from granulating.
But in Belgium there was a real struggle. The strategy was risky. I knew I couldn`t make a single mistake, especially when things got so tight in the last two or three laps. Lewis [Hamilton] was in the DRS zone, I had to drive Turn 1 perfectly because the straight to Turn 5 is so long that he`ll just fly past on fresh tires if you`re too conservative. I couldn`t lock the wheels or make a mistake, I had to understand exactly how hard to attack.
I will always be proud of this performance, " said George.
