The key areas that lost Mercedes critical time to Max Verstappen in the closing stage of the US GP.
Lewis Hamilton had a strong chance to end his win drought at the United States Grand Prix, but ultimately fell short of overtaking Max Verstappen. Hamilton employed an aggressive two-stop strategy, but the time spent in the pits and indecision on the pit wall hindered his progress. Additionally, Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were disqualified for exceeding the skid-block wear, which Mercedes attributed to the bumpy track surface. These setbacks resulted in Hamilton’s second disqualification in his F1 career. Mercedes will likely feel that they could have achieved more in the last two races.
