Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc are facing disqualification from the United States Grand Prix due to excessive wear on their cars’ floor planks. After finishing second and sixth respectively, their results are now at risk following failed post-race technical checks. The skids in the middle of the plank on both cars were found to be non-compliant with the technical regulations during the inspection conducted by FIA technical delegate Jo Bauer. The matter has been referred to the stewards, who could impose disqualification as the usual penalty for breaching technical regulations. If both cars are disqualified, several drivers, including Logan Sargeant, could be promoted in the standings, allowing Sargeant to earn his first point in Formula 1 by moving up from 12th to 10th place.
