Esteban Ocon is at risk of disqualification from Azerbaijan Grand Prix qualifying following a technical breach.
In parc ferme, the FIA performed a rear-wing main plane tip deflection test on Ocon's Haas machine, but the figure measured exceeded the allowed deflection of 0.5mm.

Technical breaches such as this are often followed by a disqualification, with Ocon qualifying 18th fastest, falling in Q1, with only Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon behind.
