Mercedes: Hamilton’s car plank had been “untouched” in practice at F1 US GP
During last weekend’s race at the Circuit of the Americas, Hamilton was disqualified from second place due to excessive wear on the car’s floor. The team admitted their mistake of running Hamilton too low to the ground, causing increased wear on the bumpy track. Technical director James Allison acknowledged that they didn’t leave enough margin for error despite thinking they had everything under control after practice. Although the team felt embarrassed by the rules transgression, they took positives from the overall performance of the upgraded car and remain optimistic about the remaining races in the championship.
