Toto Wolff said Mercedes must take Lewis Hamilton’s disqualification from the United States Grand Prix on the chin – and make sure it does not happen again 22bet
Nearly four hours after Hamilton finished second in his most competitive race of the season – one he could have won if Mercedes did not fluff their strategy lines – the stewards declared his car did not comply with the regulations 22bet
The depth of the new floor on Hamilton’s upgraded Mercedes was adjudged to be “outside the thresholds outlined in Article 3 22bet

” – which states that the plank cannot wear to below 9mm thickness 22bet
Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, who finished sixth, was disqualified for the same breach following Sunday’s 56-lap race at Austin’s Circuit of the Americas 22bet
Mercedes said the sprint format – which allows for just one hour of practice before parc ferme rules heavily constrict changes to the cars – had a bearing on Hamilton’s disqualification 22bet
But team principal Wolff said: “In the end, all of that doesn’t matter 22bet
Others got it right where we got it wrong and there’s no wiggle room in the rules 22bet
“We need to take it on the chin, do the learning and come back stronger next weekend in Mexico 22bet
”Four cars were chosen at random following the race 22bet
Both winner Max Verstappen’s Red Bull and Lando Norris’ McLaren passed the scrutineering checks 22bet
Hamilton’s demise elevated Norris to runner-up behind Verstappen, who claimed the 50th win of his career and 15th from 18 this season, and Carlos Sainz to third 22bet
Sergio Perez was promoted to fourth to extend his lead over Hamilton in the fight for second place in the championship from 27 points to 39 22bet

2 seconds adrift of Verstappen after Mercedes’ move to attempt a one-stop strategy backfired and probably denied the seven-time world champion his first victory in 686 days 22bet
But despite expressing frustration at his team’s strategy, Hamilton was asked if he has been provided hope that he could taste victory before the season is out 22bet
“Yes, definitely,” replied the 38-year-old 22bet
“The steps that we were able to take this weekend has given me a little bit more confidence to throw the car into the corners 22bet
“There are still some of the fundamental issues that we’re having with the car, which won’t change until next year 22bet
But it was really positive to feel that the decisions we are taking are the right ones 22bet
”Hamilton will be back in action at this weekend’s Mexican Grand Prix with rounds to follow in Brazil and Las Vegas before the campaign concludes in Abu Dhabi on November 26 22bet

It’s the game that players don’t want to play, fans don’t want to watch and the media don’t want to cover 22bet
All of which begs the question, why does the Rugby World Cup third/fourth place play-off still exist? Answers on a postcard please 22bet
Actually, the answer is fairly simple, of course 22bet
It follows the old adage that when you’re not sure why something counter-intuitive is happening in sport, the reason is always the same 22bet
Money 22bet
World Rugby and its sponsors will undoubtedly make a bit more cheddar from England facing Argentina on Friday evening at relatively little expense, although it remains to be seen how many of the Stade de France’s 80,000 seats are filled, let alone what sort of atmosphere those in attendance create 22bet
You suspect it might not quite reach the level of fan delirium that some of the other instant classics at the Paris stadium have generated during this tournament 22bet
Let’s not beat around the bush – World Rugby can badge it as the ‘bronze final’ all they want but the third/fourth place play-off is an entirely pointless exercise and it’s long since time that this outdated relic of a concept was given the chop 22bet
Please, do everyone a favour 22bet
In a tournament that is based around winning a trophy rather than climbing onto a medal podium, a battle for third serves precisely no purpose 22bet
At the Olympic Games, bronze medal matches/contests make perfect sense and having one athlete or team rightfully earn their place as a sole bronze medallist is far more satisfying than both losing semi-finalists stepping on the podium 22bet
But there’s no podium at a Rugby World Cup – there’s the winning team, the runners-up and then the losing semi-finalists, quarter-finalists and those who were knocked out at the group stage 22bet
So what are we doing here? The stakes have truly never been lower 22bet
Here’s a question for you, a little pub debate if you will 22bet
What’s your favourite ever third/fourth place play-off at a Rugby World Cup? Which one springs to mind first when you run through the Rolodex of all the iconic clashes in your mind?New Zealand comfortably beat Wales in the 2019 third-place play-off 22bet
Apparently 22bet
(Getty Images)Don’t worry, I couldn’t remember a single one either… Although a quick scroll through Wikipedia tells me that, for example, New Zealand beat Scotland 13-6 in 1991, Argentina beat France 34-10 in 2007 and Australia beat Wales 21-18 in 2011 22bet
Apparently 22bet
If not to save the fans from its pointlessness, then how about axing the game for player safety reasons? As they proudly announced the new global calendar after 16 years of negotiations earlier this week, World Rugby consistently mentioned ‘player load management’ as one of their main drivers 22bet
The crowded fixture schedule and incredible physical intensity of modern rugby already push players’ bodies to their limits, so in an age of increased focus on player welfare, getting rid of an entirely worthless fixture such as this should be an easy decision 22bet
Imagine if one of the players gets injured in this futile fixture on Friday evening and misses months of club action as a result – it would really not be a good look 22bet
Of the two teams condemned to play out this fixture on Friday – rather than licking their wounds from harrowing semi-final losses last weekend and returning home to their families after five months away – Argentina have remained more on message about its importance 22bet
“It is the most important game of the year; it is playing for third and fourth place with this shirt,” insisted Pumas hooker Julian Montoya earlier this week 22bet
Oh… Well, let’s give Montoya the benefit of the doubt and assume that either something was slightly lost in translation or he has really bought into the classic coach-speak of “the most important game is always the next game” or maybe even that he was being brutally deadpan and sarcastic 22bet
Because otherwise, he appears to have forgotten about, for example, the semi-final he played against the All Blacks literally seven days ago when ranking his most important games of 2023 22bet
Argentina will try to forget last weekend’s heavy defeat to New Zealand (Getty Images)While Montoya may have stretched the bounds of believability with his sentiment, Los Pumas genuinely do seem far more up for the game than England 22bet
Perhaps the combination of wanting to forget the 44-6 humbling by New Zealand, avenge the pool-stage loss to England and send off Michael Cheika, who will be replaced as head coach by Felipe Contepomi after the World Cup, in style has given them a greater sense of purpose 22bet
Making just three changes to the starting XV, compared to England’s eight, from the semi-final side has left them with a team much closer to full strength 22bet
In the fine margins of Test rugby, that fact, combined with the added motivation, may prove the difference 22bet
But regardless of the result, I implore World Rugby to do the right thing 22bet
Please make this the last-ever third/fourth place play-off and save us from having to endure this nonsense again in 2027 22bet
