The race stewards have allowed Mercedes to put a new rear wing on Lewis Hamilton’s car ahead of Brazilian Grand Prix second free practice.
Mercedes has been allowed to change the rear wing on Lewis Hamilton’s car without any repercussions, because his original rear wing has been impounded by the stewards.
The wing was impounded because they are conducting an investigation into whether Hamilton’s DRS was exceeding the maximum distance when opened.
