Mercedes team principal, Toto Wolff, acknowledged that their set-up was wrong at the United States Grand Prix, resulting in Lewis Hamilton being disqualified from second place. The lack of practice and the challenging nature of the Circuit of the Americas contributed to their set-up choices. Wolff accepted that other teams got it right while Mercedes got it wrong, and there is no room for excuses within the rules. Despite the disappointment, there were clear improvements from Mercedes’ upgrade, especially in the fast, sweeping corners. Hamilton also remained positive, acknowledging that while they could have possibly won, the progress made throughout the weekend should not be overshadowed by the disqualification.
