Lewis Hamilton was dramatically disqualified from the Chinese Grand Prix for running his Ferrari too close to the ground.

The seven-time world champion had finished sixth in a race won by Oscar Piastri, but will now be stripped of his eight points.

Alpine’s Pierre Gasly, who was 11th, was also thrown out for the same reason as Leclerc.

The 40-year-old could be heard clashing with his race engineer Riccardo Adami, and had to make way to let his team-mate Charles Leclerc through en route to a disappointing finish.
