Hamilton’s Mercedes and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari were found to have excessive plank wear after the Austin race and were subsequently disqualified from s⛄econd and sixth place respectively. 

Verstappen’s race-winning Red Bull and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris’ McLaren were also subject to the FꦉIA’s random post-race checks but their cars were deemed leg🌞al. 

In contrast to Merced🐻es, the triple world champion admitted Red Bull had played it “too safe” and “conservative”. 

Asked if he feels Mercedes are becoming a threat to Red 🐟Bull for next season based on their vastly-improved performance at the Cir♛cuit of the Americas, Verstappen replied: “I can’t comment on next year. 

🍒“But you have to take into account Austin, with the bumps and the Sprint format, after one practice session you have to setup the car, and it’s a bit more of a hit and miss.

“From ꩵour 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, but with all these big bumps around here you have to be a bit careful.

“Looking back at the 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 of 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 c🌟𓆏loser, sometimes they 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 w🗹ere also illegal”.
