Martin Brundle believes the FIA should have checked the plank wear on all cars at the F1 United States Grand Prix, following Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc’s disqualifications.
Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were disqualified from the race in Austin after their cars failed a post-race plank wear check. Only four out of the 17 cars that finished the race were inspected, raising questions about the fairness of the process. Martin Brundle, a commentator and former driver, expressed concern over the sprint format weekend, which he believes puts teams under a lot of pressure and leads to underpreparedness. He also highlighted the impact of this format on the teams’ resources and drivers’ skills. Brundle suggested that changes should be made for the upcoming season to avoid such issues and ensure a more consistent and fair competition.
