Hamilton’s Mercedes and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari were found to have excessive plank wear after the Austin race and were subsequently disqual🤡ified from second and s🌺ixth place respectively. 

Verstappen’s race-winning Red Bull and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris’ ꦕMcLaren were also subject to the FIA’s random post-race checks but their cars ಌwere deemed legal. 

In contrast to Mercedes, the 🥃triple world champion 🎶admitted Red Bull had played it “too safe” and “conservative”. 

Asked if he feels Mercedes are becoming a threat to Red Bull for next season based on their vastly-improved performance at thඣe Circuit of the Americas, Verstappen replied: “I can’t comment on next year🍸. 

“But you have to take into account Austin, with the bumps and t🔯he Sprint format, aft𝕴er one practice session you have to setup the car, and it’s a bit more of a hit and miss.

“From our side I think we went too conservative, too safe, and they clearly went too aggressivꦦe. That’s how they of course got excluded. We know t𒁏hat when we drop the car you gain performance, but with all these big bumps around here you have to be a bit careful.

“Looking back at the weekend, we were probably not at our strongest for those kinds of reasons. So, it’s a bit difficult to say. For sure from the beginni♒ng of the year to now, the teams behind us haveꦐ been catching up, for sure, but how much?

“It’s also every weekend seems a bit different, sometimes they are closer, sometimes they are further away, a🦋nd like I said next year impossible to comment on.”

Ahead of this weekend’s Mexico City Grand Prix, seven-time world champion Hamilton claimed “several different sources” had infor🧸med him that “there were a lot of other cars that were also illegal”.
