Pierre Gasly has been disqualified from the Chinese Grand Prix after his car was judged to be underweight after the race.
Gasly's car was put on the scales after he took the chequered flag as the usual post-race checks were carried out.
His Alpine challenger was drained of 1.1kg of fuel and weighed 799.0kg after initially weighing 800kg.
F1 cars are required to weigh 800kg before fuel is added.
It automatically resulted in a referral to the stewards, who quickly confirmed his exclusion from the classification.
Gasly is one of three drivers to be disqualified from the race after Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton were issued the same fate.
Gasly originally crossed the Chinese Grand Prix finish line in 11th place.
