Martin Brundle believes the FIA should have checked the plank wear on all cars at the F1 United States Grand Prix, following Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc’s disqualifications.
However, that has led Brundle to question why only four of the 17 cars that finished were inspected given half of them were found to be in breach of the regulations.
“After the race four cars were checked, including Verstappen's Red Bull and Norris' McLaren, and both Hamilton's Mercedes and Leclerc's Ferrari were found to have too much wear, for which the only remedy is disqualification, however minimal the indiscretion. There can be no grey area on this. “There's no doubt that the Sprint format events put the teams under a lot of pressure and overall, we don't get particularly positive feedback from them,” he added.
“We had 20 per cent of the field starting the main Sunday race from the pit lane, in the form of both Aston Martins and both Haas cars, because they were better breaking out of Parc Fermė and trying for a more competitive race set up. And from Friday afternoon onwards, with two qualifying sessions and two races to come, some drivers were consigned to a difficult car for the rest of the weekend.
