Hamilton disqualified from 2nd place at U.S. Grand Prix after post-race inspection of car

Associated Press  

AUSTIN, Texas — Lewis Hamilton was disqualified from the Formula One United States Grand Prix hours after his second place finish to Max Verstappen when race officials found a technical rules violation with the skid block under his car. The decision wiped out Hamilton’s best finish in months and comes just as Mercedes showed some new life and new pace in a season dominated by Verstappen and his Red Bull car. “It is of course disappointing to be disqualified post-race but that doesn’t take away from the progress we’ve made this weekend,” Hamilton said. Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff noted the bumpy conditions at the Circuit of the Americas that Hamilton and Verstappen said should be fixed, and the lack of car set-up time by teams on a sprint race weekend.
