Hamilton and L✨eclerc were excluded from the race results in Austin after the FIA found that their skid blocks had worn excessively.&💞nbsp;

They were just two of four cars checked after the race, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris’ cars passing the post-race checks.

Chandhok - who is a regular pundit for Sky Sports F1 in the UK - felt that Hamilton and Lecle📖rc were unfortunate to be targeted by the FIA given that their teammate’s weren’t.

“If you find two cars that are 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,” Ch♊andhok said during the Mexico City Grand Prix weekend."

The former HRT driver would have been ha🧜ppy for the FIA ▨to assess the entire grid - 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 a🔜fter ༺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 waitinꩵg till Monday for the official results if I knew that all 20 cars were checked.”
