Isack Hadjar Miami Gp Disqualification Looms After Ninth-Place Qualifying

Isack Hadjar’s isack hadjar miami gp disqualification threat arrived after he qualified ninth in Miami and was sent to the stewards following post-qualifying technical checks. A floor legality breach on his Red Bull could wipe out the result if the issue stands.

Hadjar And The Miami Grid

The check found the floor board protruded 2mm too far on the left and right hand side. That is the sort of technical miss that can move a car from the classification sheet to the stewards’ file in one step.

Hadjar is scheduled to see the stewards at 7am on Sunday morning. If the breach holds, the nine-place result goes with it and the Miami Grand Prix grid order shifts behind him.

Red Bull Floor Breach

The car was running Red Bull’s full upgrade package, the same one used by Max Verstappen, with revisions to the front of the floor. That puts the focus on a part of the package built for speed and the rules governing how far it can extend.

Technical rule breaches are usually treated as black-and-white situations regardless of the reason for a breach, which is why the post-qualifying check matters so much here. Hadjar also said the car was “very hard to drive but very fast” and that he “couldn’t put it all together.”

Hadjar’s Miami Q​ualifying

He also described Miami as “a very, very tricky track, very low grip with a high track temperature,” and added, “It’s not a very flowy racing track with good grip, it’s completely different. And Max is very, very good at adapting to these conditions.”

Hadjar said, “In the corners I can tell you I’ve made big, big progress compared to yesterday. Just I couldn’t tidy up like he did. And on top of that, I’m missing on every straight.” The floor issue now sits on top of that performance gap, turning a ninth-place result into a session that may not survive Sunday’s review.
