AUSTIN, Texas—Mercedes accepted their punishment after Formula One stewards disqualified Lewis Hamilton from second place in Sunday’s U.S. Grand Prix along with sixth-placed Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc.

The governing FIA had reported both drivers to stewards after their cars failed post-race checks on the under-floor wooden planks at Austin’s Circuit of the Americas (COTA).
