Lewis Hamilton was not best pleased about his disqualification from the US Grand Prix last weekend...
Lewis Hamilton has decried the disqualification of himself and Charles Leclerc from the US Grand Prix as ‘ridiculous’.
“There are a lot of people who don’t actually have a true understanding of what effect the skid was having,” he said. “But, mostly, some cars handle the bumps better than others. And we’ve had a very stiff and bumpy car for the last two years. Elaborating on his belief that the tiny difference in ride height did not play a part in the performance level of his car, with which Hamilton powered his way to finish 2.2 seconds behind race winner Max Verstappen, the British driver explained why he felt that way.“So some cars have downforce very low, some gain more at high ride heights. Last year, we were very low and stiff but we were bouncing.
“One millimetre was not a performance factor, whether we did what we did. It wasn’t like the floor bowing giving us extra downforce or anything like that. It just was terrible over the kerbs and if we had raised the car a millimetre or half a millimetre whatever it failed by, it wouldn’t have made a difference except for we would have passed the test, but it is what it is.”
