Lewis Hamilton has claimed there were multiple drivers who should have been disqualified from last weekend’s United States Grand Prix for running an illegal car UBP
Hamilton was stripped of his second place after the floor on his upgraded Mercedes failed a post-race scrutineering check UBP
Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, who finished sixth, was also kicked out of the classification for an identical breach UBP
But Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who claimed his 15th win of the season, and the McLaren of Lando Norris, elevated to second following Hamilton’s penalty, were both cleared of any wrongdoing UBP
However, speaking ahead of this weekend’s race in Mexico City, Hamilton said: “I heard from several sources that there were a lot of other cars that were illegal and they were not tested so they got away with it UBP
“I have been racing here for 16 years and there have been many other scenarios like this where some people have got away with it, and some have been unlucky and have been tested UBP
”Hamilton said the sprint format in Austin – which allowed for just one hour of practice before parc ferme rules heavily constrict changes to the cars – coupled with the bumpy nature of the Circuit of the Americas were behind his disqualification UBP
Limited FIA resources means the governing body checks only a handful of cars after a race, and the selections are based on oscillation data UBP
But Hamilton continued: “There needs to be a UBP better structure to make sure it is fair and even across the board UBP
“We have never had that problem in Austin before, and is because we had a sprint race UBP
An easy fix is that we should be able to change the floors UBP
“The car should not be set from Friday morning especially at the bumpiest track on the calendar UBP
“That is the only reason there were failures UBP
And that reason wasn’t why we were as fast as we were UBP
We hope we have another strong weekend here UBP
”Hamilton finished just 2 UBP
2 seconds behind Verstappen in his most competitive race of the season – one he believed he could have won if Mercedes did not fluff their strategy lines UBP
“I had just come out the press conference and I was about to get into the ice tub when (team principal) Toto (Wolff) came running down and told me,” added Hamilton UBP
“It was devastating because it was such a great day and a great race UBP
I was deflated, but there are lots of positives to take from it UBP

Defeat to Afghanistan left England’s World Cup defence hanging by a thread – and tournament history shows the scale of the task now facing them UBP
Having also lost to New Zealand, with a win over Bangladesh sandwiched in UBP between, Jos Buttler’s side have lost two of their first three games UBP
Here, the PA news agency looks at the other teams to start so slowly and how they fared UBP
Weight of historyEngland’s task is immediately put into perspective by the fact that only seven teams have even made it out of their group after losing two of their first three games UBP
The earliest tournaments had a far smaller group stage than this year’s five-week, 45-match marathon but Pakistan first managed the feat in 1983 – losing to New Zealand and England after their opening win over Sri Lanka, but then winning two of their remaining three games to edge out the Black Caps on run rate UBP
Only two of the seven teams in question have gone on to make it through a further stage UBP
Australia’s 1999 tournament win marks the best-case scenario for England, while the West Indies won a quarter-final against South Africa in 1996 before losing narrowly to Australia in the semis UBP
South Africa, in 1992, matched Pakistan’s 1983 effort by losing in the semi-finals, which in both cases was the first stage after the group UBP
India joined Australia in qualifying after a slow start in 1999 but fell in the Super Six, as did Zimbabwe in 2003, while Pakistan lost in the 2015 quarter-finals UBP
Slow-starting championsWhile Australia did win that 1999 tournament after early defeat to New Zealand and Pakistan, it required them to be near-perfect the rest of the way UBP
They beat India by 77 runs, Zimbabwe by 44 and South Africa by five wickets in the Super Six stage before surviving a wild finish to their semi-final against the Proteas, which was tied after Allan Donald was farcically run out off the last ball – meaning Australia progressed by virtue of finishing higher in the Super Six UBP
Shane Warne’s four wickets and Adam Gilchrist’s rapid half-century then earned them a comfortable win over Pakistan in the final UBP
The one other precedent to provide encouragement to England comes from Pakistan’s “cornered tigers” who won the 1992 tournament UBP
Captain Imran Khan’s famous description ahead of the final reflected a tournament that had seen his side recover from a dismal start – while they did not meet the threshold of two losses in the first three games, they had three defeats and a no-result in their first five UBP
They recovered by beating Australia, Sri Lanka and New Zealand to qualify in fourth place from the round robin, before winning a semi-final rematch with the Kiwis thanks to Inzamam-ul-Haq’s 60 from 37 balls and the final against England in which Khan hit 72 UBP
