Formula 1: Hamilton Disqualified From Chinese GP As Ferrari Suffer Double Disqualification
Chinese Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton has been disqualified from the Chinese Grand Prix after the rear skid block on his Ferrari was found to be under the minimum thickness required in the technical regulations, meaning that both of the team’s drivers have lost their results given that Charles Leclerc has also been disqualified for a car weight breach.
After his victory in the Sprint on Saturday, Hamilton faced a more challenging day at the Shanghai International Circuit on Sunday, the seven-time World Champion having made contact with Leclerc on Lap 1 before struggling to keep the pace of his rivals en route to a final position of P6.
However, after the race a Technical Delegate’s report stated that, when the skid wear of Hamilton’s car was checked following the Grand Prix, the rearmost skid was found to be below the minimum 9mm thickness required, meaning that the matter was referred to the stewards.
