Red Bull has issued a statement following the disqualification from qualifying of Isack Hadjar, with the team accepting a "mistake" was made.
On Sunday morning at the Miami International Autodrome, it was announced by the FIA that the floor of Hadjar's car was protruding out of the reference volume.
With it being a clear technical infraction, disqualification from qualifying was the punishment, dropping Hadjar from ninth to the back of the grid.
The Milton Keynes-based outfit has accepted it made an error and did not argue the decision with the stewards.
Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies' statement read: "We made a mistake and we respect the decision of the Stewards. No performance advantage was intended nor gained from this error.
"We will learn from this incident and assess our processes to understand how it occurred and to take steps to ensure it cannot happen again.
"As a team, we apologise to Isack, and to our fans and partners. We learn the hard way today but we will move forward. Now our focus is on converting yesterday’s encouraging showing into a strong race performance this afternoon."
