Upheaval at dawn we had at Grand Prix of Austin, Texas. Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were disqualified by the referees, as it was found that they had irregularities in the floor of Mercedes and Ferrari cars respectively.
This development brought rearrangements both on the podium and in the top ten, as well as in the championship ranking. Regular second-placed Hamilton and sixth-placed Leclerc were dropped, with McLaren’s Lando Norris moving up to second and Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz third, while Sergio Perez and George Russell moved into fourth and fifth respectively. .
Pierre Gasly climbed to sixth place, Lance Stroll to seventh, Yuki Tsunoda to eighth, while both Williams drivers, Albon and Sargent, entered the top ten.
