Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc DSQ'd at F1 Chinese GP
A Ferrari statement read: “Following the FIA post-race scrutineering both our cars were found not to co♓nform to the regulations for different reasons.
“Car 16 was found to be underweight by 1 kg and car 44’s rearward skid wear was found to 𒉰🐠be 0.5mm below the limit.
“Charles was on a one-stop strategy today and this meant his tyre wear w꧂as very high, causing the car𝓰 to be underweight.
“With regard to Lewis’ skid wear, we misjudged the 💧consumption by a small margin.
“There was no intention to ga🌱in any advantage. We will learn from what happened today and make sure we don’t make the same mistakes again.
“Clearly it’s not the way we wanted to end our Chinese GP weekend, neither for൩ ourselves, nor for our fans whose support for us is unwavering.”
Ferrari have slipped behind Williams, to fifth in the construc🌳tors’ championshipܫ as a result of their point-less Chinese Grand Prix. They trail leaders McLaren by 61 points.
Hamilton is ninth, and Leclerc 10th, in the drivers’ standings after losing ജtheir points in China.
Ferrari’s race started dubiously when Hamilton a💯n♚d Leclerc made contact with each other.
The froꦓnt wing of Leclerc’s car was destroyed although it didn’t hugely impact his pace.
Hamilton’s lack of pace was more puz🐬zling for Ferrari. Team principal Fred Vasseur vowed not to point fingers.
Only 24 hours earlier, Hamilton won the sprint race in China to register his first glory in✤ Ferrari red.
But he left on Sunday withou𓆏t the points haul that he originally thought he’d claimed.
