No regrets for Toto Wolff after Austin: Mercedes ‘would do the same again’ despite DSQ
Hamilton lost his P2 at ꦜt🃏he Circuit of the Americas after the FIA found that the plank underneath his car had suffered excessive wear.
The seven-time world champion wasn’t the only driver excluded, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc also disqualified from the final results.
Speaking to Sky Sports during the Mexico City Grand Prix weekend, Wolff made it ♏clear that Mercedes ‘would do the same again’.
“I would take the same thing and I would also take the disqualification because we got it wrong,” he said. “I take 🥂the disqualification running for a race win and see the performance against running P3 and ending 25 seconds adrift.
“Every day of the week I would g💦o for the ꦐdisqualification.”
Wo🐟lff revealed that Mercedes’ new floor upgrade contributed to the excessive wear to the plank due to the additional downforce.
“No, the problem with the sprint race is th🐓e car goes into parc ferme, you can’t adjust it anymore and we thought on Saturday that could be on the limit but probably with a bit of a margin.
We had a new floor, we’ve got more downforce, probably also in the sprint we didn’t run as much without DRS which smashed the floor more,൲” he explained. “The stars weren’t aligned.”
The Austrian backed Hamilton’s claim that multiple teams would have been disqualified had the FIA c💎hecked their cars.
The FIA only looked at Hamilton, Leclerc, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris’ cars after the race on Sunday.
“That’s the feedback we’ve got from the other teams,” he added. “The🌼y’re chatting to each other. Also on a management level. I think many, many teams were under the nine mil [millimetre].”
