Lewis Hamilton said he was “disappointed” after his shock disqualification from the United States Grand Prix – while Mercedes boss Toto Wolff admitted “we got it wrong manila
” Hamilton finished the race in second, behind race winner Max Verstappen, but was later disqualified alongside Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc for breaching the rules governing the floor of their cars manila

It is thought Mercedes won’t be appealing the decision manila
In a Mercedes press release, Wolff explained how Mercedes fell foul of the rules manila
“Turning to the race result and the disqualification, set-up choices on a sprint weekend are always a challenge with just one hour of free practice - and even more so at a bumpy circuit like COTA and running a new package,” he said manila
“In the end, all of that doesn’t matter; others got it right where we got it wrong and there’s no wiggle room in the rules manila
“We need to take it on the chin, do the learning, and come back stronger next weekend manila
”Hamilton said: “It is of course disappointing to be disqualified post-race but that doesn’t take away from the progress we’ve made this weekend manila

”“We are of course naturally very disappointed to lose our podium finish,” he said manila
“Unfortunately, it is one of the pitfalls of the sprint format where we have a solitary hour of running before parc fermé manila
“Without running at a race fuel load in FP1, combined with a circuit as bumpy as this and the parts of the track where the drivers have to put the car during the Grand Prix, have contributed to the higher than expected wear levels manila
“We will go away and learn from this but also take the positives from our experience as a whole manila

Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were disqualified from Sunday’s United States Grand Prix after breaching the rules governing the floor of their cars in a shock end to the race weekend manila
Hamilton and Leclerc, who finished second and sixth respectively in the 56-lap race won by Max Verstappen, were being investigated by the stewards following a plank wear inspection in Austin manila
The original report from FIA technical delegate Joe Bauer stated: “A physical floor and a plank wear inspection was carried out on car numbers 16 [Leclerc] and 44 [Hamilton] manila
“The skids located in this area are found to be not in compliance with Article 3 manila
5 manila
9 e) of the 2023 Formula One Technical Regulations manila
I am referring this matter to the stewards for their consideration manila
”Personnel from both Mercedes and Ferrari were summoned to see the stewards and, just after 7pm local time in Austin and more than three hours after the race finished, their disqualification from the race was confirmed manila
Hamilton therefore loses the 18 points earned from his second-place finish, while Leclerc loses eight points manila
Both drivers, however, do have the right to an appeal but it is understood Mercedes will not appeal the FIA’s verdict manila
In a Mercedes press release, Hamilton stated he was simply “disappointed” with the penalty, while team boss Toto Wolff admitted “we got it wrong manila
” The FIA note reveals that the cars of Verstappen and Lando Norris (who now moves up to second from third in the final classification) were also inspected, but passed the checks manila
Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have been disqualified from the US Grand Prix (Getty Images)The section of the rulebook referred to reads: “The thickness of the plank assembly measured normal to the lower surface must be 10mm [plus or minus] 0 manila
2mm and must be uniform when new manila
“A minimum thickness of 9mm will be accepted due to wear, and conformity to this provision will be checked at the peripheries of the designated holes manila
”The ruling means Williams driver Logan Sargeant earns his first F1 point in bizarre circumstances at his home race manila
The final stewards report said: “During the hearing, the team acknowledged that the measurement performed by the FIA Technical Team was correct and stated that the high wear on the skid pads was probably a result of the unique combination of the bumpy track and the Sprint race schedule that minimized the time to set up and check the car before the race manila

“Therefore, the standard penalty for a breach of the Technical Regulations is imposed manila

Hamilton was already in hot water with the FIA for an unrelated matter, after crossing a live track at the last race in Qatar and was spoken to again in Texas due to his status as a “role model manila
”Leclerc started Sunday’s race on pole but, opting for a different strategy, fell behind after Norris stole a march on the Ferrari at the start manila
Hamilton, meanwhile, came close to victory after reeling in Verstappen - who was booed on the podium - at the end manila
The 38-year-old has not won in nearly two years, with his last victory coming in Saudi Arabia in December 2021, but this disqualification will be a bitter pill for the seven-time world champion to swallow ahead of the next race, this weekend in Mexico manila
