Mercedes boss Toto Wolff would accept a repeat of the events that led to Lewis Hamilton’s disqualification in the United
Hamilton and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc were disqualified from the race due to their cars not complying with the regulations on plank wear. Other teams’ cars were not investigated and thus avoided punishment. Teams had concerns about the bumps on the Circuit of the Americas, but only four cars were checked. Max Verstappen suggested that the Sprint format, with limited practice time, contributed to teams not meeting the regulations. Mercedes revealed a revised floor, which played a role in Hamilton’s disqualification, but the team is confident that this issue will not arise in the remaining races. Hamilton stated that he would prefer a disqualification while challenging for victory rather than lagging behind within the rules.
