It's a travesty that he doesn't get to drive next year. But F1 is not about ability, it's all about the money
Not sure that's true. Yes, there are a few there on money, but the best drivers in the world are in F1, no question.
Brendon Hartley has had a huge amount of success but he was around a second a lap slower than his team mate.
Lawson wlll get a permanent F1 drive for sure based on his Alpha Tauri drives.

You must not be talking about Lance Stroll. There are a few others in the field that appear to be there based on their financial power as much as their driving ability

So can someone explain to me - if no tire is allowed more than 18 laps - how do we get a 3 stop minimum over 57 laps?

The only thing that really entertained me was on the first corner.

Just reading up about them now. Not something I'm super familiar with but it makes sense given how much of an advantage you get running a car that low. Must be an absolute nightmare to enforce though.
Wolff doesn't seem overly bothered about it, so that tells me that they knew they were pushing it:
***Wolff: We got it wrong
Speaking to the media after the decision, Wolff admitted: "Set-up choices on a sprint weekend are always a challenge with just one hour of free practice – and even more so at a bumpy circuit like COTA and running a new package."In the end, all of that doesn't matter – others got it right where we got it wrong and there's no wiggle room in the rules. We need to take it on the chin, do the learning, and come back stronger next weekend.***
I tend to avoid the US races as they seem to be more about which celebrities are in the paddock than the actual race. Case in point, if I google US Grand prix, 3 of the top 5 stories are that Prince Harry was there. Honestly, who cares?

Pretty good explanation of the disqualification
