Motorsport: Ferrari accepts disqualification of both drivers from Chinese Grand Prix

# Motorsport: Formula One team Ferrari says there was no intention to gain any advantage after both its drivers were disqualified from Sunday’s Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai. Charles Leclerc ended fifth and Lewis Hamilton sixth, but both were informed afterwards they had technical infringements which made their results null and void. The team says Leclerc’s car was just one kilogram underweight because their one-stop strategy meant his tyre wear was very high, while they misjudged the consumption of Hamilton’s rearward skid. McLaren’s Oscar Piastri won the race.
