MIAMI, May 3 : Isack Hadjar will start Sunday's Miami Grand Prix from the back of the grid after his Red Bull was disqualified from qualifying, the governing FIA said.
The French driver had qualified ninth in Saturday's session and the stewards' decision promoted Alpine's Pierre Gasly to his compatriot's slot with Audi's Nico Hulkenberg moving up to 10th.
Hadjar's car failed a post-qualifying measurement inspection with a small section of the floorboard protruding millimetres beyond the limit in what Red Bull admitted was an error on their part.
"We made a mistake and we respect the decision of the stewards," said team boss Laurent Mekies.
