Isack Hadjar, driving for Red Bull Racing, is set to start the F1 Miami Grand Prix from the pit lane after being disqualified from qualifying. The disqualification stemmed from a violation of Article C3.5.5 of the F1 Regulations, as both sides of Hadjar's car floorboard were found to protrude 2mm beyond the allowed specifications. Despite finishing ninth in qualifying, Hadjar's penalty means he will lose that position, with all drivers qualifying P10 and lower moving up one place. Red Bull Racing's CEO, Laurent Mekies, expressed regret over the incident, clarifying that the team did not intend to gain any performance advantage from the error. Mekies emphasized the need for the team to learn from this mistake and improve their processes moving forward. Hadjar, frustrated by the disqualification and previous performance issues, will now need to navigate through the grid to salvage points in the race.
