No regrets for Toto Wolff after Austin: Mercedes ‘would do the same again’ despite DSQ
Hamilton lost his P2 at the Circuit of the Americas after the FIA found that the p⛄lank underneath his ca𝄹r 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, Wolf𒅌f made it clear that Mercedes ‘would do the same again’.
“I would take the same thing a⭕nd 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.
“Eve🔜ry day of the week I would go📖 for the disqualification.”
Wolff revealed that Mercedes’ new floor upgrade contributed to the excessive wear 🅺to the plank due to the add🔯itional downforce.
“No, the problem with the sprint ra🌄ce is the 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 als💝o in the sprint we didn’t run as much without DRS which smashed the floor more,” he explained. “The stars weren’t aligned.”
The 🐓Austrian backed Hamilton’s claim that multiple teams would have been disqualified had the FIA checked thei🍸r 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. “They’re chatting to each other. Also on♏ a management level. I think many, many teams were under the nine ♒mil [millimetre].”
