It was media day in Mexico City, but the F1 news headlines were still dominated by one subject from the weekend before as the drivers spoke out.
Thursday’s F1 news contains plenty of talk of disqualifications in Austin, as the topic reared its head again as Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc spoke out publicly for the first time since their striking from the record at the last race.
But given the limited number of cars tested for that element, the Mercedes driver was unimpressed to see that nothing else had been done to the other drivers, with the high failure rate in that small sample. “Every time we take a step forward within the sport, something like that really taints it. We’ve got to do something. Hopefully, they’ll learn a little bit for the future, rather than checking everybody and over 50 per cent of the cars failing, which I would put all my money on that they would have, maybe if we have a sprint race, maybe we should be able to change the skid or the floor, whatever it is, on a Saturday night so suddenly you don’t have this ridiculous kind of event afterwards.
Alex Albon added: “Maybe you don’t need to check every car, every race, all the time but if there’s one driver in one team illegal, there’s a very, very high chance that the teammate of that driver is going to be illegal as well. Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko confirmed the news, even though it has gone against the three-time World Champion’s wishes.“But we have responsibility for him. That’s why we just want to play it safe.”FIA under spotlight after track limits concerns in US Grand Prix
