Verstappen wants rule change after Hamilton disqualification

Max Verstappen wants to see a rule change after both Lewis Hamiltonand Charles Leclerc were disqualified from the US Grand Prix due toa technical infringement. The pair were thrown out of the race dueto excessive plank wear, owing to a combination of factors largelybrought on by the Sprint weekend. A potential problem on the bumpysurface was not spotted until after qualifying had taken place,when all the cars entered Parc Fermé. With Hamilton and Leclercneeding to make a setup change to compensate, the pair chose togamble in the race instead of starting from the pit lane.Verstappen believes this rule should be looked at again, especiallyconsidering the circumstances. "If you went even slightly the wrongway in FP1, you're stuck with that setup for the rest of the sprintweekend. That really sucks," he told AmuS . "We've had some reallygood sprint weekends this year, but I wasn't completely satisfied.Take the ride height in Austin. Mercedes and Ferrari didn't settheir cars too low on purpose. "But once you take the wrong turn[in terms of setup], there is no turning back. At most you canforce something with the tire pressure. But if those prescribedvalues are already very high, then you've been seen." Verstappen:Even I can't keep track of it anymore Verstappen suggested makingadjustments to the race weekend format for Sprints, embracing themooted idea of introducing two different Parc Fermé. "One ParcFermé for Saturday and one Parc Fermé for Sunday, for example,"said the three-time World Champion. When asked if he envisionssingle-lap qualifying for the Sprint race, he did not show support:"That would be a bit risky. I think the current format is verygood. "I already don't like the current format either with thatmandatory medium-medium-soft tire selection. We already don't knowwhat's wise: one fast lap, or still a fast lap, followed by acool-down lap and another fast lap? "Even I can't keep track ofexactly what the rules are anymore, which makes me feel lost. It'slike a circus."
