AMG Petronas Formula One Team: Isack Hadjar will start the Miami Grand Prix from the back of the grid after being disqualified from qualifying due to a technical violation on his Red Bull Racing car. He initially secured an impressive ninth-place finish.
Hadjar showed promising pace, qualifying just seven spots behind his four-time world champion teammate Max Verstappen. Red Bull seemed to benefit from a significant upgrade package introduced over the weekend. However, post-session checks uncovered a breach of technical regulations, leading to an investigation by the stewards.
The problem came from a small irregularity in the car’s floor assembly. A section on both the left and right sides was found to stick out beyond the allowed reference volume by 2mm. This small deviation violated the sport's strict technical rules, resulting in Hadjar’s exclusion from qualifying.
