P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Ex-F1 driver Karun Chandhok believes the FIA should have checked more cars after Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc’s disqualifications at the United States Grand Prix.
Following the race in Austin, Hamilton and Leclerc were disqualified by the FIA because their skid blocks were found to be excessively worn. Only four cars were checked after the race, with Verstappen and Norris passing the checks. Chandhok, a pundit for Sky Sports F1, believed that it was unfair for Hamilton and Leclerc to be singled out without their teammates also being checked. He suggested that in the future, if illegal cars are found, their teammates should automatically be checked as well. Chandhok also proposed that the entire grid be assessed, even if it meant delaying the official results. He acknowledged the time-consuming nature of the checks but felt that in exceptional cases like Austin, it would be justified.
