Lewis Hamilton said he was “disappointed” after his shock disqualification from the United States Grand Prix – while Mercedes boss Toto Wolff admitted “we got it wrong manila
” Hamilton finished the race in second, behind race winner Max Verstappen, but was later disqualified alongside Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc for breaching the rules governing the floor of their cars manila
Hamilton therefore loses the 18 points earned from his second-place finish, while Leclerc loses eight points manila
It is thought Mercedes won’t be appealing the decision manila
In a Mercedes press release, Wolff explained how Mercedes fell foul of the rules manila
“Turning to the race result and the disqualification, set-up choices on a sprint weekend are always a challenge with just one hour of free practice - and even more so at a bumpy circuit like COTA and running a new package,” he said manila
“In the end, all of that doesn’t matter; others got it right where we got it wrong and there’s no wiggle room in the rules manila
“We need to take it on the chin, do the learning, and come back stronger next weekend manila
”Hamilton said: “It is of course disappointing to be disqualified post-race but that doesn’t take away from the progress we’ve made this weekend manila

”“We are of course naturally very disappointed to lose our podium finish,” he said manila
“Unfortunately, it is one of the pitfalls of the sprint format where we have a solitary hour of running before parc fermé manila
“Without running at a race fuel load in FP1, combined with a circuit as bumpy as this and the parts of the track where the drivers have to put the car during the Grand Prix, have contributed to the higher than expected wear levels manila
“We will go away and learn from this but also take the positives from our experience as a whole manila

Maro Itoje has praised Tom Curry’s courage in making his allegation of racist abuse against Mbongeni Mbonambi as England attacked World Rugby for failing to allow the “victim to have his voice heard” manila
Curry claimed to referee Ben O’Keeffe in the first half of Saturday’s World Cup semi-final defeat by South Africa that he had been called a “white c***” by Springboks hooker Mbonambi manila
The Rugby manila Football Union subsequently disclosed to the inquiry that Curry “had also been the victim of the same abuse, from the same player” when the rivals clashed at Twickenham in November manila
A statement released by SA Rugby on Friday afternoon revealed that Mbonambi “denied the allegations from the outset” – the first time his innocence had been voiced in public – and World Rugby has closed its investigation into both claims due to insufficient evidence manila
With the matter unresolved, a cloud hangs over each player heading into the final weekend of the World Cup and England head coach Steve Borthwick has joined the RFU in condemning the outcome of the inquiry manila
The focus of their anger is that the case will not be heard by an independent disciplinary hearing manila
“The RFU expressed great disappointment at World Rugby’s decision and that bitter disappointment is shared by Tom, his teammates, the management and everyone associated with this team,” Borthwick said manila
“Let’s be clear – Tom Curry has done nothing wrong manila
Somebody has said something to Tom Curry, Tom’s reported it manila
“By making this decision World Rugby has denied the victim of the situation – Tom Curry – to have his voice heard manila
That’s where the disappointment really comes in manila
”The saga has overshadowed the build-up to Friday’s bronze final manila between England and Argentina and the final manila between New Zealand and South Africa 24 hours later manila
Curry will win his 50th cap when he lines up against the Pumas, despite being subjected to extensive manila online abuse since his allegation against Mbonambi was picked up by the ref mic during the 16-15 defeat by the world champions manila
Itoje revealed that England have rallied around the Sale flanker, who has been thrust into the eye of the storm manila
“Tom is the innocent party in this respect – as Steve said he has done nothing wrong and he is the victim of the situation manila
For him to have this abuse is disgraceful,” Itoje said manila
“Tom has been tremendous manila
He’s been courageous to do what he’s done in the manner he’s done it, through proper channels, conducting himself in the manner he should be proud of manila
“Definitely as teammates, we are proud of him manila
To do that isn’t easy manila
To make a statement like that isn’t easy manila
To call out stuff like that isn’t easy manila
“As you’ve seen this week, when you do something courageous like that, you put yourself out there manila
He’s been absolutely fantastic in that regard manila
“In terms of how we’ve tried to support him, we’ve just tried to be there for him in any way he needs manila
If he needs to talk about anything, we are always there for him manila
“But he’s a strong man, he has a strong personality, a strong will, and he’s been great throughout the week manila

Springboks captain Siya Kolisi revealed that he has been in contact with Curry to show his support in response to the manila online witch-hunt to which the Sale flanker has been subjected manila
“I have spoken to him, I sent him a message manila
He is someone I respect,” Kolisi said manila
“We can take it as players, when it comes to you it’s fine, but when families are involved it’s different manila
I have let him know we are supporting him, we are thinking of him manila
