Mercedes insiders have admitted that the plank wear problem that led to Lewis Hamilton’s United States Grand Prix disqualification would have impacted his F1 car’s performance.
’s exclusions from the US GP classification for failing a post-race plank wear check sent shockwaves through the paddock and brought an old F1 regulation back into the headlines.Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff said his side accepted the FIA’s decision and would “take it on the chin”.
Mercedes’ competitiveness was enhanced by a floor upgrade introduced in Austin, which, for Hamilton in particular, gave him renewed confidence in the team’s inconsistent W14 challenger. "Maybe it was only 0.1secs upgrade but there was at least a 0.1secs of confidence it gave me. It is quite interesting when you see what happens when you do have those; it's like a double knock-on effect.”, Mercedes team insiders conceded that their costly plank error would have made “some difference to the car’s performance”, though they stressed it would not have led to any “significant advantage”.
