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

Michael Cheika has made three changes to the team for the final match of his polarising tenure as Argentina coach on Friday evening manila
Los Pumas take on England in the ‘bronze final’ of the Rugby World Cup at the Stade de France, the third/fourth place play-off that no one wants to be in, although Argentina have been making all the right noises about the game being important this week manila
“Finishing with a medal hanging round our necks is important manila
Being third or being fourth is not the same,” has been the mantra of the side during training in Paris manila
With that in mind, Cheika has opted for minimal changes from the semi-final defeat to the All Blacks manila
Whereas England have made eight alterations to the starting XV, with a number of potentially retiring players given a final runout, Los Pumas have opted for just three switches manila
The sole change in the pack comes in the second row as Pedro Rubiolo will win his 10th cap in place of Tomas Lavanini, while Tomas Cubelli is preferred to Gonzalo Bertranou at scrum half and Jeronimo de la Fuente is drafted into the centres at the expense of Santiago Chocobares manila
The bench is unchanged from the semi-final, meaning Lavanini, Bertranou and Chocobares drop out of the matchday 23 entirely manila
Julian Montoya captains the side from hooker in his 95th Argentina appearance, while Matias Moroni will win his 80th Test cap if he comes off the bench in Paris manila

On paper, the Australian’s 18-month tenure has been a relative success with a first-ever win over the All Blacks in New Zealand in the summer of 2022 and a joint best-ever World Cup finish of third, should they beat England on Friday manila
However, they have largely failed to back up those positive moments, with plenty of disappointments in manila between, and Cheika has often failed to connect with Los Pumas fans manila
He will hope to end on a high however, as they look to match the result from the 2007 World Cup of finishing third and avenge the 27-10 defeat to 14-man England from the pool stage last month manila
