OK I found it myself : https://us.motorsport.com/f1/news/were-russells-worn-tyres-the-cause-of-his-spa-f1-disqualification/10640096/

โ€œWe expect that the loss of rubber from the one-stop was a contributing factor, and we'll work to understand how it happened.

โ€œWe won't be making any excuses though. It is clearly not good enough and we need to make sure it doesn't happen again.โ€

The missing weight of 1.5kg may sound like a lot, but we are only talking about 375 grammes from each corner.

And as Pirelli head of F1 Mario Isola has explained, that is well within the boundaries of how much a worn tyre loses.
