Regulations Hypothetically, if Russel crashed the car just after he won, would he have evaded disqualification?

I know there is no cooldown lap at spa, so assume Russel just crashes on the straight. He loses significant amounts of his car. Would he retain the win, as his car wouldn’t be weighed (or if it is weighed, it would obviously be below min weight but for good reason I.e. pieces of car have come off) ?

Thining of Vettel 2017 i suppose there must be some way to allow an exception. That said if you were to very obviously do it yourself.
