Lewis Hamilton was disqualified from the Formula One United States Grand Prix hours after his second place finish to Max Verstappen when race officials found a technical rules violation with the skid block under his car.
The decision wiped out Hamilton's best finish in months and comes just as Mercedes showed some new life and new pace in a season dominated by Verstappen and his Red Bull car. Hamilton had chased Verstappen to within 2.2 seconds of the winner at the finish line and may have caught if given a few extra laps.
It can also be considered a safety issue. And if the skid block is found to have been reduced by more than 1 millimetre, the car and driver are disqualified. The disqualification announcement from race officials noted the Mercedes team argued the same issues with them in hopes of mitigating any penalty.
Another benefactor of the disqualification was Williams driver Logan Sargeant. He moved up from 12th to 10th to earn his first point of the season.Auger-Aliassime headlines Canadian roster for Davis Cup Finals, Raonic set to returnSoccer fans flock to Old Trafford to pay tribute to Bobby Charlton following his death at age 86Crown drops bail violation charge against convoy organizer Tamara Lich
