Lewis Hamilton faces possible expulsion from the US Grand Prix for running a potentially illegal floor.<\/p>\n
The seven-time world champion, who finished second on Sunday behind Red Bull\u2019s Max Verstappen, faces an anxious wait to learn his fate after the best showing of a miserable season.<\/p>\n
The FIA\u2019s technical delegate Jo Bauer has reported the matter to the stewards at the Circuit of the Americas.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the FIA, alluding to both Hamilton\u2019s Mercedes and the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc, said: \u2018A physical floor and a plank wear inspection was carried out on car numbers 16 and 44.<\/p>\n

\u2018Skids (in a certain area) are found to be not in compliance with Article 3.5.9 e) of the 2023 Formula One Technical Regulations. I am referring this mater to the stewards for their consideration.\u2019<\/p>\n
A representative of the Mercedes team was called to the stewards at 6pm local time in Austin (midnight BST) to answer the charge.<\/p>\n
