Lewis Hamilton has been removed from his P1 for F1 sprint after a technical violation was found on his Mercedes W1 – meaning Max Verstappen will lead the field for Saturday’s 100km dash event in Brazil.
Hamilton took the P1 for the sprint to Red Bull by more than four-tenths over rival Vertappen, with Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas third, but now Hamilton from Friday’s qualifying session due to a violation found on the back wing of his car has been disqualified. His championship hopes have suffered a major setback.
Meanwhile, Verstappen was fined €50,000 on Friday for touching and examining Hamilton’s rear wing at Parc Ferme, with the stewards making a lengthy argument for the fine. However, he said in that statement released after FP2 on Saturday: “There is no direct harm in this matter.”
He added that “it was unlikely that Verstappen’s actions were at fault, although [Mercedes] felt it was an open question.”
Before the sprint event the stewards explained why they penalized Hamilton: “Normally, there is a gap between the upper and lower parts of the rear wing. When the DRS is not activated the gap should be between 10 mm.” and the 15mm car passed this part of the test.
“When the DRS is activated, which raises the upper element of the wing to a flatter position, the gap should be between 10 mm and 85 mm. The maximum difference is measured by pushing the 85 mm gauge, according to TD/011-19 difference with a maximum load of 10N (ten newtons). If the gauge passes then the car has failed the test.
“In this case, the gauge would not pass through the interior of the wing, but over the exterior of the wing. This test was repeated four times with two different gauges, once in the presence of the stewards and the competitor’s representative. “

Max verstappen
Mercedes decided not to appeal against the decision, while Verstappen was found guilty of touching another car under par firm terms and fined 50,000 euros as it is strictly prohibited.

Brazil
Lewis Hamilton has been stripped of his P1 for the F1 Sprint after a technical infringement was found on his Mercedes W12 – meaning Max Verstappen will head the field for Saturday’s 100km dash event in Brazil.
Hamilton took P1 for the Sprint by more than four-tenths over Red Bull rival Vertappen, with Mercedes team mate Valtteri Bottas lining up third, but now Hamilton has been disqualified from Friday’s qualifying session due to an infringement found on the rear wing of his car in a major blow to his championship hopes.
Meanwhile, Verstappen was handed a €50,000 fine for touching and examining Hamilton’s rear wing in Parc Ferme on Friday with the stewards giving a lengthy reasoning for the fine. However, they said in that statement issued after FP2 on Saturday: “no direct harm was caused in this case.”
They added that “it was unlikely that Verstappen’s actions caused the fault, however [Mercedes] felt that it was an open question.”
Ahead of the Sprint event the stewards explained why they had handed the penalty to Hamilton: “In lay terms, there is a gap between the upper and lower parts of the rear wing. When the DRS is not activated this gap must be between 10mm and 15mm. The car passed this part of the test.
“When DRS is activated, which raises the upper element of the wing to a flatter position, the gap must be between 10mm and 85mm. The maximum gap is measured, in accordance with TD/011-19, by pushing an 85mm gauge against the gap with a maximum load of 10N (ten newtons.) If the gauge goes through then the car has failed the test.
“In this case, the gauge would not pass through at the inner section of the wing, but did at the outer section of the wing. This test was repeated four times with two different gauges, once being done in the presence of the Stewards and representatives of the Competitor.”
