Isack Hadjar has been disqualified from qualifying for the Miami Grand Prix after his Red Bull was found to be illegal.
Having qualified in ninth place, the Frenchman's RB22 machine failed the routine post-session scrutineering checks after the left and right-hand side floor boards were protruding 2mm outside of the permitted boundaries.
As such, the Red Bull was deemed to be illegal and promptly thrown out of qualifying - meaning the rest of the field shuffle forward one place.
The FIA stewards' statement read: "The Stewards heard from the team representatives of Car 6 (Isack Hadjar). They did not dispute the findings of the Technical Delegate that portions of the LHS and RHS floor boards were protruding 2mm out of the reference volume RV-FLOOR BOARD.
"This is a breach of Article C3.5.5 of the FIA F1 Regulations and the usual consequences follow an admitted breach of the technical regulations."
