Red Bull junior driver Isack Hadjar is set to be disqualified from the Miami Grand Prix following a technical infringement discovered during post-race inspections.
The stewards found that his car did not comply with the mandatory technical regulations, specifically regarding fuel or weight requirements, leading to the harsh penalty.
This disqualification is a significant blow for the promising youngster, as it strips away a strong points finish and impacts his standings in the championship.
The ruling promotes the drivers who finished behind him, shifting the final race results and redistributing the points among the remaining field.
Red Bull’s junior program officials expressed disappointment, noting that the error was a technical oversight rather than an intentional attempt to gain a performance advantage.
Hadjar will now look to move past this setback and focus on recovering his momentum in the upcoming rounds of the season.
