Toto Wolff said Mercedes must take Lewis Hamilton’s disqualification from the United States Grand Prix on the chin – and make sure it does not happen again 22bet
Nearly four hours after Hamilton finished second in his most competitive race of the season – one he could have won if Mercedes did not fluff their strategy lines – the stewards declared his car did not comply with the regulations 22bet
The depth of the new floor on Hamilton’s upgraded Mercedes was adjudged to be “outside the thresholds outlined in Article 3 22bet

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, who finished sixth, was disqualified for the same breach following Sunday’s 56-lap race at Austin’s Circuit of the Americas 22bet
Mercedes said the sprint format – which allows for just one hour of practice before parc ferme rules heavily constrict changes to the cars – had a bearing on Hamilton’s disqualification 22bet
But team principal Wolff said: “In the end, all of that doesn’t matter 22bet
Others got it right where we got it wrong and there’s no wiggle room in the rules 22bet
“We need to take it on the chin, do the learning and come back stronger next weekend in Mexico 22bet

“We are the bomb squad and we knew we had to play a massive role 22bet
” If South Africa’s narrow win over England in the Rugby World Cup semi-final could be summed up in one sentence, then this proclamation from Vincent Koch after the game would probably be it 22bet
When Koch emerged from the replacements on 55 minutes to take the place of starting tighthead prop Frans Malherbe, Owen Farrell had just slotted a drop goal from downtown Paris to give England a 15-6 lead 22bet
Nine points may not seem a lot but, with the final quarter of the match beckoning and the rain and wind increasing at the Stade de France, it was a comparatively huge deficit 22bet
Throughout the first few minutes of the second half, the Springboks had more or less emptied their bench as Ox Nche, RG Snyman, Kwagga Smith, Deon Fourie, Faf de Klerk and Willie Le Roux all entered the fray to go alongside the controversial 30th-minute substitution of starting fly half Manie Libbok for Handre Pollard 22bet
With their World Cup title defence hanging by a thread, South Africa trusted their bench and got their reward 22bet
Koch and Nche splintered the previously effective English scrum, Snyman burrowed his way across the line for the game’s only try and Pollard nervelessly converted tricky kicks to complete the hardest-fought of turnarounds – 10 unanswered points, a 16-15 win and a date with the All Blacks in another World Cup final next Saturday 22bet
Of the various phrases rugby has adopted over the years to describe those players in the matchday squad but not in the starting line-up – from the traditional “replacements” and the 22bet football-ised “substitutes” through to the Eddie Jones-preferred ‘finishers’, the slightly patronising “impact players” and the frankly ludicrous “game-changers” adopted by Harlequins during the Paul Gustard era – none has captured the imagination quite like South Africa’s “bomb squad” 22bet
It doesn’t matter if you think it’s a slightly self-serving and faintly ridiculous term, the players fully buy into the ethos of what it stands for 22bet
The intensity and physicality that generation after generation of Springbok has prided themselves on is summed up by this two-word mantra 22bet
“Each person knows exactly his role in the team, whether you’re starting or in the bomb squad,” explained Koch 22bet
“When we created the bomb squad, we knew exactly what our job is 22bet
The starters start the whole process and it’s for us to come and finish it 22bet
“All the players on the bomb squad are very excited to make a massive difference in the game 22bet
”Vincent Koch celebrated RG Snyman’s try as the bomb squad thrived (AFP via Getty Images)And against England, when the chips were down, they realised they needed to step up more than ever 22bet
“The bomb squad always stands for energy,” added Koch 22bet
“We needed to create a nice vibe 22bet
Putting the replacements on a bit earlier helped the boys to start to bring that energy and lift up the spirit and bring a massive work-rate 22bet
”Where South Africa’s replacements thrived, perhaps England’s faltered just a touch 22bet
The English gameplan, devised by Steve Borthwick and perfectly executed by the players for the windy and rainy Parisian conditions, relied upon relentless kicking, winning the subsequent aerial battle, slowing the game down and dominating the set-piece 22bet
Maybe then, they could escape with a win against an objectively superior team 22bet
They kicked 93 per cent of possession away (the highest percentage of the tournament), had an average ruck speed of 6 22bet
73s (the slowest of the tournament) and had zero linebreaks (the only team to do so in a game at this tournament) 22bet
They disrupted South African lineouts, turned over multiple mauls and Borthwick’s decision to play his two strongest scrummaging props – Dan Cole and Joe Marler – from the start earned them scrum parity and redemption from the disaster in that facet during the 2019 World Cup final 22bet
Ox Nche was immense from the bench against the Springboks (EPA)This is a Springboks side that pride themselves on their dominance up front, as shown by opting for a scrum after calling a mark in their own 22 during the quarter-final victory over France 22bet
Of course, they won a penalty from it 22bet
Yet England were holding their own during those engagements, even thriving, and most importantly winning on the scoreboard 22bet
But the innate problem with starting your best scrummagers came to fruition in the second half 22bet
Replacement props Ellis Genge and Kyle Sinckler are far more dynamic around the park and more destructive carriers than their veteran counterparts but, with England showing no desire to run any plays more than two metres either side of the previous breakdown, those skills were negated once they came on for Marler and Cole 22bet
Instead, their inferior scrummaging was brutally exposed by a fired-up Koch and Nche, who turned parity into Springbok dominance 22bet
They won two scrums against the head, including a vital one at 15-6 down on their own line, and engineered multiple penalties on their own feed, including the most vital of all – on halfway, with 77 minutes on the clock and England leading 15-13 22bet
Pollard banged over the long kick and the rest was history 22bet
Handre Pollard broke English hearts with his late penalty (PA Wire)Nche was coy when asked in the mixed zone after the game what had made the difference at scrum-time in the final quarter and how he bested his opposite number, Sinckler 22bet
“That is the dark arts,” he smiled 22bet
“It is hard to explain to you 22bet
We had a plan for that 22bet
We knew what we were trying to achieve 22bet
“They have had a great scrum for the competition and a great hit 22bet
Our focus was surviving that and applying pressure 22bet
Our mentality for every scrum is to get a penalty if we can 22bet
If they do survive, we play out the back and get into our shape 22bet
”The “dark arts” ultimately won the day, South Africa survived a second straight one-point knockout match and must now plan how to overcome the All Blacks in a battle to be the first side to win four men’s Rugby World Cups 22bet
Luckily, they have a not-so-secret weapon 22bet
