JAKARTA - The sad fate experienced by Mercedes GP racer Lewis Hamilton in Formula 1 of the United States Grand Prix. The second sodium he achieved just evaporated.

Hamilton was disqualified from the race for violating the rules. He failed to spot a chassis support board after the race.

The British racer was summoned by the FIA technical delegation, Jo Bauer, who found a "skid" at the bottom of his land jet that could potentially violate Article 3.5.9 e) from the technical regulations for Formula 1 2023.

"The measured boarding thickness normal to the lower surface must be 10 mm (plus or minus) 0.2 mm and must be uniform when new. The minimum thickness of 9 mm will be accepted due to wearability, and the suitability with this provision will be checked at the edge of the determined hole," reads the rule.

Apart from Hamilton, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc also suffered a similar fate. Both have been questioned in this regard.

If nothing changes in decision, this is clearly a major blow to Hamilton. The reason is that he has raced tremendously in the US GP F1.

The former F1 world champion finished second behind Max Verstappen who won the 50th race. With the FIA's decision, the second position is now given to Hamilton's teammate, Lando Norris.

While the third position was taken over by Red Bull Racing driver, Carlos Sainz Jr. For Leclerc, he canceled finishing in sixth position.
