The 2023's USA F-1 GP has ended.  The results:  Max, Hamilton, Norris.

It was the closest race of the whole year!

The starting grid was different from the Sprnt Race finish because Max was penalized with 5 grid position for violating track limits.  The race started with LeCler, Norris, Hamilton.  Norris replaced LeCler before the first corner & led until tire strategy came into play.

Max started from the 3rd row but his car was still quite a bit faster than the rest without the use of flexible "wings".

MB played the tire card well but not quite to perfection, otherwise the ending would be even closer because MAX's brakes were fading.

"The Delegate’s Report stated that: “The skids located in the area -825 ≥ XR ≥ - 1025 are found to be not in compliance with Article 3.5.9 e) of the 2023 Formula One Technical Regulations.”"

"Both teams sent a representative to speak to the stewards, stating that "the high wear on the skid pads was probably a result of the unique combination of the bumpy track and the Sprint race schedule that minimized the time to set up and check the car before the race.""

I think that there must be a conspiracy here:

1.  The sample six is 4, & 2 found guilty of violation & disqualified.  Well, well, this is a high percentage, why not increase the sample size to include the top ten finishers, particularly Max who was also found guilty of using an unauthorized flexible wing 2 races ago, and was NOT qualified.  Please review my previous postings, I said Max should be disqualified for cheating violation   Max only paid for penalty but kept everything.  Why is there a preferential treatment?

2.  Who stands to gain when both Hamilton & LeClerc are disqualified?  RB & Perez.  Although Constructors & Drivers Championship have been decided, if RB can also grab 1-2 in the individual championship, that will be very nice too!

3.  How can a non-power unit producing team be consistently 0.1" per lap than other teams. i.e. not just one race???  Isn't there something fishy??

Noticed a typing error:

"and was not qualified"  should be "disqualified".
