An emotional George Russell said he has grown “numb to disappointment” after he crashed out of the opening lap of a Belgian Grand Prix won by championship rival Kimi Antonelli.

Antonelli cleared Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc with 10 laps remaining at Spa-Francorchamps to take his sixth win of the season, and double his title advantage over Russell from 25 points to 50.
