Martin Brundle disagrees with Lewis Hamilton over the Mercedes driver’s disqualification at the F1 United States Grand Prix.
Hamilton and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc were excluded from second and sixth place respectively in Austin after their cars were found to have excessive plank wear, breaching F1’s technical regulations.
“I would also like to say that I think the FIA did a tremendous job of policing the technical aspects of F1. “If you are a kilo underweight, or a millimetre too wide with your wings, you get thrown out of the race. That’s why those regulations are there in those two cars were outside of the regulations at the end of the grand prix.
“So they also know static ride heights and the spring rates and what have you on the field as well. There are some teams who said ‘we raised their car to be secure on this regulation and we gave away some performance’.
