Mercedes | Wolff makes no excuses after Hamilton's disqualification

So many regrets at home Mercedes after United States Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton he finished the race in second place, even risking winning, but everything was made in vain by disqualification of the seven-time world champion for an irregularity found on his car at the end of the race. Russell he finished his day in seventh place, but in the end he finished fifth due to the exclusion from the ranking of both his teammate and Charles Leclerc he also came out of Austin with the black flag for the same reason. There W14 she seemed very competitive, and the Red Bull it doesn't seem that far away, therefore an excellent base from which to start in view of 2024.

“The set-up choices in a Sprint weekend are always a challenge with only one hour of free practice – said Toto Wolff, Mercedes team principal after Hamilton's disqualification. It is even more so, among other things, on a bumpy track like COTA and with a new package. In the end, however, all this doesn't matter: others have understood where we went wrong, there is no room for maneuver in the regulation. We have to take everything very seriously, learn and come back stronger next weekend. We can be happy with the positive aspects and performance of the car. It's bad to come so close to victory and not be up to par, but this is a circuit where we wouldn't have done well if we had arrived a few weeks ago. The update has made the machine stronger in some areas, which is a great sign for the future.”
