The FIA announced a problem with the rearwing of Hamilton's Mercedes:
Nov 12th
18:28 (local) - The uppermost rear wing element adjustable positions were checked on car number 44 for compliance with Article 3.6.3 of the 2021 Formula One Technical Regulations. The requirement for the minimum distance was fulfilled. But the requirement for the maximum of 85mm, when the DRS system is deployed and tested in accordance with TD/011-19, were not fulfilled.
Jo Bauer said: I am referring this matter to the stewards for their consideration.
18:45 (local) - A team representative is required to report to the Stewards at 19:15 in relation to the incident.
21:54 (local) - The Stewards hereby order the Technical Delegate to supervise the removal of the rear wing
assembly of Car 44, and to impound this part under seal. Further, the Technical Delegate is to
supervise the transition of Car 44 into overnight conditions, permitting only those actions needed to
store the car.
Nov 13th
09:01 (local) - A team representative is required to report to the Stewards at 10:30 in relation to the incident

'Too' big surely. So it's Mercedes.
So the Stewards have decided to wait till Saturday morning for further evidence. What else could they possibly be waiting for? I'm guessing that Merc made an argument that heat caused the slot expansion and should return to a normal gap when sufficiently cooled down.
If Merc gets away with this, GENIUS. If not, an absolute foolish risk at this stage given they know that the Bulls are scrutinizing every detail of everything they do.
We shall see in a couple hours.
Mb are being given a chance to wiggle out of this
As it turns out, Max touched the damn wing Lol. Not smart. The fact that Bottas wing was ok Merc are gonna use Max tampering with Lewis's wing as the scapegoat. So they may "wiggle out" as you put it, thanks in part to Max.
I learned in the car business that when a customer is inspecting certain
Areas of the used car you know what’s wrong with his trade
Max won last week by 13 seconds ????
To make sure that the cars are not tempered with, lock them up.Just too much hassle today in F1.All fans need to see is close racing.All these rules are just killing the sport.
I presume the Fia can get the team to open and close the DRS flap when being inspected by them, so surely simple case of using a ruler to measure the Max, "see what i did there" gap and if it exceeds the permitted limits then its a penalty, again , not saying they made a new flap with a bigger gap , but it so reminds me of Toyota WRC in the nineties and there bigger than allowed turbo inlets
As for Max touching Hamishes car in Parc ferme, they are having a laugh, he barely touched it , if at all, 2 separate issues anyway for those thinking penalty for both, one is a breach of technical regs , the other an infringement of the sporting regs
Come on Toto, wade in there and sort out the Fia and stewards, oh yeah and take your lawyers with you lol
shamilton and mb cheating to win at any cost !.if this is the case the punishment should fit the crime.shamilton to the back of the grid starting from the pit lane would be a good start.
3 cheers for the FIA.

sky shamilton support commentry team are putting a brave face on the situation except for brundle who looks like he been given the death sentence.tuff
thats taking the urine a 50000 fine for Max cause he touched Hamishes wing, ok its peanuts but NO GRID PENALTY for him
Hamilton- We win together and we lose together, oh yeah and we CHEAT together..........disq , lets see Tonto and Lewis put a positive spin on this one lol
Sorry guys but I don't understand the Lewis haters. Lewis is the driver and I doubt he had anything to do with the half-millimetre extra clearance on one part of the wing opening. If MB puts in a strong engine for Lewis' car, what's he supposed to do? Refuse to drive the thing? It will be a long time before we see another driver with seven championships and a hundred-one wins. It won't be Max 'cause he's too reckless.
