Lewis Hamilton was disqualified from the 2023 United States Grand Prix after his Mercedes failed a physical inspection. The inspection revealed that the car had been modified beyond what is allowed under parc ferme rules, which would have required Hamilton to start from the pit lane. As a result, Hamilton was stripped of his P2 finish, and his teammate George Russell was stripped of his P7 finish. Charles Leclerc of Ferrari also lost his P6 finish due to a similar disqualification. The disqualifications promoted Lando Norris to P2 and Carlos Sainz to P3.

It is worth noting that Lewis Hamilton was also involved in a crash with his teammate George Russell during the Qatar Grand Prix. Hamilton was reprimanded and fined for crossing the circuit after the incident. However, this incident is unrelated to his disqualification from the United States Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton is a seven-time Formula One world champion who recently signed a new multiyear deal with Mercedes, extending his career until at least 2025.
