Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc has received a post-race time penalty following the Miami Grand Prix due to a technical infringement identified by the stewards.
The penalty was issued after investigators found that his car failed to comply with specific operational procedures required during the race weekend.
As a result of the added time, Leclerc has dropped down the final classification, losing his original finishing position and valuable championship points.
The ruling has promoted several other drivers up the order, directly impacting the final points distribution for the teams in the middle of the pack.
Ferrari has acknowledged the decision, noting that the infraction was a procedural error rather than a deliberate attempt to improve the car’s speed.
This setback adds to a complicated weekend for the Scuderia, as they now look to refine their processes ahead of the upcoming European rounds of the season.
