Hamilton and Ferrari’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc were excluded from second and sixth place respectively in Austin after their cars were found to have excessiv🅺e plank wear, breaching F1’s🦩 technical regulations. 

At this weekend’s Mexico City Grand Prix, Wolff admitted Mercedes would be prepared to gamble on the rules to compete for a race win, rather than playing it sa♔fe by taౠking a conservative approach to car set-up. 

But Wolff has come under-fire for his comments💧 from F1 co-commentator Ma𝔍rtin Brundle, who said such a risk is “absolutely not” worth taking. 

“I think Toto is being a bit fl♛ippant there,” he said during Sky’s F1 coverage.

“Toto and Lewis have done a very good job this weekend of saying ‘nothing to see here, look at all these others, they must have been cheating as well’ - cheating is too strong a word🅰, found to be outside of the regulations. 

“But some teams lifted their cars to be certain, because it was a sprint weekend, because it was bumpy, driversဣ taking kerbs, talk of a headwind pushing the cars down a little bit more down on the back straight. 

“I don’t believe that Mercedes was illegal by just a s📖mall amount. It was 🌳a reasonable chunk that they had worn through. Also, I think we had an exceptional circumstance here. 

“We know how much ♑performance comes from lowering these ground-effect cars. They should be paying more attention post-race. Post-race, they should be checking all of the skids.”

Fellow Sky F1 pundit Jenson Button agreed, adding he was “surprised t🦹hat Toto said that”. 

“It was probably a flippant remark because nobody wantsও to be caught cheating,” the 2009 world champion added. 

“It looks very bad for the team, very bad for 𝐆the OEM also. But the information that was interesting to me was that th🌠ey checked two cars because they thought those two would be outside of the regulations. 

“And when they checked them and were correct, they were illegal, they checked two other cars just to m🏅ake sure their information and data was correct, and those two [Max Verstappen and Lando Norris] were legal. So the FIA are doing the right thing𓂃.”

Que♏stions have also been 🐼raised as to whether Mercedes’ most competitive showing of a difficult 2023 season was ultimately down to their ride height. 

Sky F1 pundit Bernie Collins said: “I think we’re all agreed that lowering the ride height in these cars brings performanc🐲e. What we are not sur🍰e of, is how much performance. They were definitely a lot closer to Max. 

“This weekend, if there is a bigger performance differential, we can’t be clear if that’s ride height or track-specific. Here, mayb🌄e their new upgrade doesn’t suit the track as much, or the downforce, 𝓰so there’s lots of question marks that will remain. 

“I think that this track, because it’s nꩲot a sprint weekend, because 🌠it’s not as bumpy, even riding the same ride height as they ran last weekend, they will probably be legal here. 

“So it is a ♊track-specific issue in Austin, but♏ it’s the same for everyone.”
