Lewis Hamilton – latest: Ferrari driver and Charles Leclerc set to be disqualified from result in huge blow – UK Times

Excessive skid wear to blame, as his rearmost skids have been measured below the 9mm minimum thickness limit post-race.

Could be a double Ferrari DSQ!

Leclerc (P5) and Gasly’s (P11) cars have both been found to be underweight in post-race scrutineering.

It could mean Lance Stroll, in 12th, could be promoted to the points.

9. Racing Bulls – 3 points

Piastri led virtually every lap at the Shanghai International Circuit, with Norris following his team-mate home as McLaren underlined their impressive speed by executing a one-two finish.

Mercedes’ George Russell was third ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who passed Leclerc with three laps remaining. Hamilton crossed the line a distant sixth.

“Very strange, one side of the garage OK. We can take the positive with Charles.

“I don’t want to blame something, we have to do a better job. The tyres are on the edge.

On Lewis’s second stop: “The deg at one stage was important, if everyone pitted it would’ve made sense.”
