Hamilton and Leclerc were excluded from the race results in Austin after the FIA found that their skid blocks had worn excessively.&ﷺnbsp;

They were just two of four cars checked after the race, with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris’ cars passing the post-race checks.

Chandhok - w💝ho is a regular pundit for Sky Sports F1 in the UK - felt that Hamilℱton and Leclerc were unfortunate to be targeted by the FIA given that their teammate’s weren’t.

“If you find two cars that ꦡare illegal, you should automatically check their team-mates because there’s a good chance that they have very similar setups, so I think🍒 that’s something that’s worth thinking about for the future,” Chandhok said during the Mexico City Grand Prix weekend."

The former HRT driver would have been happy for the FIA to assess the entire g🐼rid - as one-off exception - even if it meant waiting for the final result until the following day.

“Every time you do a plank check, it takes half an hour,” he added. “So, if you have to check all 20 cars, that’s five hours, then the results have to be checked by🔴 the stewards, then eventually the results will come out.

“So, there’s a question of do we want a situation where the results are declared seven hours aft🅠er the grand prix. 

“We don’t want that on every occasion, but what happened in Austin hasn’t happened in 29 years so actually on that occasion, I think it warranted it, and I wouldn’t have minded waiting till Monday for the official results if I ꦕknew that all 🌳20 cars were checked.”
