Lewis Hamilton has claimed that “far more” F1 cars would have been found to be illegal if the entire field had been checked following the United States Grand Prix.
Lewis Hamilton expressed his disappointment over the disqualifications of himself and Charles Leclerc at the Austin race due to excessive wear on the floor planks of their cars. He argued that more cars should have been examined to ensure fairness. Hamilton felt that the disqualifications “tainted” the event and suggested changes to the regulations, such as allowing changes to the skid on the Saturday night of a sprint weekend. He also explained that ride height does not always affect performance and that his car had a poor ride compared to others. Despite the minimal performance impact of the issue, Hamilton acknowledged that the disqualification was a consequence of failing the checks.
