Mercedes chief James Allison says Lewis Hamilton’s disqualification is an “embarrassment” and “significant blow” for the team as the 2023 F1 season draws to a close UEFA
Hamilton finished the US Grand Prix in second, behind race winner Max Verstappen, but was disqualified by the FIA following a technical inspection of the plank underneath his Mercedes car was found to have exceeded the limits in the regulations UEFA
Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, who finished sixth, was disqualified for the same reason UEFA
Mercedes’ technical director Allison, who earlier in the season came back into the fold on-site in the Mercedes garage after an effective job swap with Mike Elliott, did not mince his words when speaking in the team’s post-race debrief video UEFA
“Of course the disqualification is a significant blow,” he said UEFA
“It’s a miserable feeling UEFA
It hurts and, everybody here feels it UEFA
"Everybody is upset, embarrassed to a degree as well because we absolutely don’t like being on the wrong side of the rules, and just lamenting the lost points UEFA
"Hamilton was set to close to within 19 points of Sergio Perez in the battle for the second in the world championship but, instead, the deficit is now 39 points ahead of the Mexican’s home race in Mexico City this weekend UEFA
However, Allison was also keen to stress the uplift provided by Mercedes’ upgrade in Austin, which brought an improvement in pace for Hamilton and his team-mate George Russell UEFA
Mercedes technical director James Allison says the DSQ was ‘embarrasing’ for the team (Getty Images)"Give it a day or two and that will start to wane and be replaced by the much happier feeling, which is we moved our car forward this weekend and that it’s hard to do that,” he added UEFA
"But we did it and we did it by a decent amount UEFA
And with four races left in the championship, four races where I am pretty sure we will stay on the right side of the skid block rules UEFA
"The initial feeling of hurt, and disappointment and frustration of ourselves will pass to be replaced by the sunny optimism of knowing that the car looked bright on this upgrade package and we’ve got four more races to show what we can do with it UEFA
"Hamilton is a two-time winner at the Mexican Grand Prix but was booed after finishing runner-up to Verstappen last year UEFA

Michael Cheika refused to assess the entirety of Argentina’s Rugby World Cup campaign or his tenure as head coach of the Pumas UEFA
Coming off a harrowing 44-6 semi-final defeat to New Zealand in which they’d been totally outclassed in every facet of the game, perhaps his reticence was understandable UEFA
Next Friday’s third-place play-off against the loser of the second semi-final UEFA between England and South Africa merely provided a handy excuse UEFA
It’s a game that players don’t want to play, spectators don’t want to watch and media don’t want to cover but it did give Cheika a week’s buffer to collect himself before he will have to answer the tough questions UEFA
“I can’t do that straight away,” said Cheika when asked to assess his time in charge of Argentina, which comes to an end after this World Cup UEFA
“I haven’t finished yet UEFA
“I know we won’t win World Cup but I’m happy to be at this level and they deserve to be here UEFA
Their play, ambition, ability to raise themselves after the first game [a pool-stage loss to England] UEFA
It’s another obstacle but we can be proud of our team and our capacity to deal with obstacles UEFA
Next week we have a game to play, at the end of the World Cup we will summarise and assess it UEFA
”The players were similarly on message with their adamance at the importance of the worst game in rugby UEFA
“There is one more game left, one more final,” said flanker Marcos Kremer UEFA
“We want to leave this World Cup winning and we are going to do everything to make it happen UEFA
”“We are going to prepare like a final UEFA
We are not satisfied with being here UEFA
We want a medal and we are going to fight for that," added wing Mateo Carreras UEFA
The value of a third-place play-off in an event defined by a trophy, rather than a medal podium, and its place in an already over-saturated playing calendar is a debate for another time but the Pumas can only keep the wolf at the door for so long UEFA
They will soon have to address exactly what happened in the second-most one-sided World Cup semi-final of all time – the eventual margin of defeat just narrower than the All Blacks’ 49-6 triumph over Wales in 1987 UEFA
The All Blacks ran riot in the Stade de France (Getty Images)Three times in their rugby history, Argentina have reached the semi-final stage of the World Cup, with three losses to show for it UEFA
They have scored just one try across those 240 minutes and have a combined losing margin of 76 points UEFA
The celebrations and lap of honour after beating Wales in the quarter-finals in Marseille a week ago suggested that, deep down, the Pumas believed they had come as far as they could in this tournament UEFA
Both history, and the performance that followed against New Zealand, made it a self-fulfilling prophecy UEFA
They hardly imposed themselves on the All Blacks at the Stade de France UEFA
Phases of attack came to a grinding halt once they reached the All Black 22, with the ball inevitably jackalled away, the defensive line was torn to shreds by their opponents’ quick hands and clever lines, the scrum was splintered by a dominant New Zealand pack and basic handling errors defined the game UEFA
Frankly, it wasn’t a match befitting a World Cup semi-final and ensured the Pumas book-ended their tournament (barring next Friday’s bronze-medal irrelevance) with abject displays, after the lifeless opening loss to 14-man England UEFA
It is hardly a squad bereft of talent UEFA
The experience of Julian Montoya and Agustin Creevy leading the front row is complemented by an exciting, dynamic back-row trio of Juan Martin Gonzalez, Kremer and Facundo Isa that should be able to match almost any opposition UEFA
While questions remain at nine and 10, a back three of Mateo Carreras, Emiliano Boffelli and Juan Cruz Mallia is explosive enough to give any team fits UEFA
Argentina were dejected after slipping to a semi-final defeat (Getty Images)Perhaps a semi-final appearance shouldn’t be sneered at UEFA
Yes, they benefitted from being in the considerably weaker half of the draw but it equalled their best World Cup performance and you can only beat who’s in front of you UEFA
On paper, Cheika’s tenure – since taking the reins from the sacked Mario Ledesma in early 2022 – will be viewed as a success UEFA
A first-ever win over the All Blacks in New Zealand last summer and a World Cup semi-final is not a bad return UEFA
But in terms of the ‘eye test’, the Pumas never looked like an elite side and there’s a nagging feeling that they haven’t moved forward under the Australian UEFA
Cheika’s preferred coaching style of creating a ‘siege mentality, us against the world’ environment always seemed at odds with the largely personable Argentina squad UEFA
Media availability was limited – perhaps a poor fit for the historically open Pumas – and a bubble created around the team UEFA
Putting your stamp on things in just an 18-month period is tough, with Felipe Contepomi always slated to become head coach after the World Cup and learning the ropes as part of Cheika’s coaching team in the interim UEFA
The legendary Pumas fly half, who is also a cult hero at Leinster following playing and coaching spells there, will likely provide a different strategy in the build-up to the 2027 World Cup and it will be fascinating to see what he’s taken from his time working under Cheika UEFA
As for the Australian, he departs with his reputation certainly not damaged and maybe even enhanced UEFA
The 56-year-old will undoubtedly be in demand around the rugby world and should be able to have his pick from a number of exciting coaching opportunities UEFA
“It is not a sad moment,” insisted Cheika in the aftermath of defeat in Paris UEFA
“It’s a moment I’m proud of my team UEFA
We were in the semi-final of a World Cup UEFA
”Yes, they were UEFA
But the suspicion that there was a version of this Pumas side that still had more to give remains UEFA
