Has lewis been disqualified?

Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton both disqualified.
The skids on the bottom of their cars, which are designed to impose a minimum ground clearance, had worn too thin. In practice this would have not really given them an advantage, but the rules state a minimum ground clearance. Setback for Lewis Hamilton's attempt to get second place in the driver's championship.

They are blaming the bumpy track and having only one practice session to set up the cars because there was a sprint race and sprint qualifying replacing the usual practices.
Always bad when positions are declared and subsequently have to change them.

Lewis wont be happy with that so. He seemed fairly happy when on the radio to his team just after the race had finished.
