Hamilton’s Mercedes and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari were found꧒ to have excessive plank wear after the Austin race and were subsequen𝔉tly disqualified from second and sixth place respectively. 

Verstappen’s race-winning Red Bull and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris’ McLaren were also subject to the FIA’s random pos🔯t-race checks but their cars were deemed legal. 

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

Asked if he feels Mer✅cedes are becoming a threat to Red Bull for next season based on their vastly-improved performance at the Circuit of th꧑e Americas, Verstappen replied: “I can’t comment on next year. 

“But you have to take into account Austin, with the bumps and the S🌸print format, after 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 aggressive. That’s how they of course got excluded. We know that when we drop the car you gain performance, ജbut with all 𓃲these big bumps around here you have to be a bit careful.

“Looking back at theꦆ 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 beginning o🐼f the year to now, the teams behind us have been catching up, for sure, but how much?

“It’s also every weekend seems a bit different, sometimes they are closer, sometimes the🅘y are further away, and 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 informed him that “there were a lot of other cars that were also illeg🥀al”.
