Isack Hadjar has been officially disqualified from the qualifying results for the Miami Grand Prix after his Red Bull RB22 was found to be in breach of Formula 1's strict technical regulations.
The Frenchman had originally secured a solid ninth-place starting position on the grid. However, his car failed the routine post-session scrutineering checks conducted by the FIA, leading to his immediate exclusion from the classification.
The technical delegate discovered that the left and right-hand side floor boards on Hadjar's machine were protruding 2mm outside of the permitted boundaries. In Formula 1, where tolerances are absolute, this minor but critical infraction rendered the Red Bull illegal.
As a result of the disqualification over the floor infringement, Hadjar has been promptly thrown out of the qualifying results. Consequently, the rest of the field will shuffle forward one place on the starting grid for the Miami Grand Prix.
The FIA stewards released a clear statement confirming the penalty and noting the team's acceptance of the technical findings.
"The Stewards heard from the team representatives of Car 6 (Isack Hadjar)," the official statement read. "They did not dispute the findings of the Technical Delegate that portions of the LHS and RHS floor boards were protruding 2mm out of the reference volume RV-FLOOR BOARD."
The stewards further clarified the regulatory basis for the exclusion, adding: "This is a breach of Article C3.5.5 of the FIA F1 Regulations and the usual consequences follow an admitted breach of the technical regulations."
