The German team has previously been accused of having similar antics

Although Lewis Hamilton achieved a sensational victory in Brazil, he was once again under fire, and Mercedes was forced to deny the accusation that British drivers could use hidden DAS tools.

The DAS tool was forced to cancel during the 2020 season, which allowed the use of the steering wheel to dynamically change the driving height. This seems to be an issue that has been put on hold, but new accusations emerge as a consequence of Hamilton’s dominance at Interlagos .

The images from the Mercedes car’s on-board camera were evaluated after Brazil, and there was suspicion because the British driver seemed to pull the steering wheel towards him, thereby slightly raising the height of the car.

Then the height returned to normal when he braked next time, although Mercedes has responded to this statement and explained their story,

A Mercedes source explained to the GPBlog website: "This is an optical illusion in the steering column, which may happen with age."

"This is not an ideal feature.

"The steering system has been recognized since the beginning of the season, so it is the same throughout the year. Although it has been hinted before, these are just conspiracy theories."

This latest allegation is unlikely to improve the mood in the last three games of the 2021 F1 season, and Mercedes and Red Bull are increasingly dissatisfied with each other.

The DAS used in 2020 was banned at the end of last season, and Mercedes has rejected similar accusations after the Turkish Grand Prix this season.

If there is any problem, then the FIA ​​may find evidence before then, although it may be just a smokescreen, increasing the pressure on Mercedes before the last three games, Hamilton must win the game to keep the championship.
