Hamilton Blames New Upgrades for US Grand Prix Spin

Lewis Hamilton's weekend at the United States Grand Prix was marked by inconsistency and frustration. He retired from the race on lap three after spinning into the gravel trap, citing a potential glitch in Mercedes' latest upgrade package. Hamilton had also spun in the first practice session and pointed out that his teammate George Russell had a similar issue in qualifying. The team will investigate the issue and may consider reverting to the previous upgrade specification for the upcoming Mexican Grand Prix. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff blamed the car's aero balance for the error, not Hamilton's driving.
