Hamilton: F1 cars without plank checks “got away with it” in US GP
After the race, the FIA measured the planks of four cars and found Hamilton’s and Leclerc’s to be illegal, resulting in their disqualifications. Verstappen’s and Norris’s cars were deemed legal, but the FIA chose not to sample any other cars further down the order. Hamilton expressed his frustration and disappointment at losing his second place and suggested the need for a better structure to ensure fairness across the board. He also mentioned that the sprint weekend format, with fixed car specifications after FP1, increases the likelihood of such issues. Hamilton denied that his team had been pushing the limits with a low ride height, explaining that their car now works better at high ride heights.
