Audi star Gabriel Bortoleto is in trouble
Audi F1 driver Gabriel Bortoleto was disqualified from a race at the Miami Grand Prix for exceeding the maximum engine intake air pressure.
The Miami Grand Prix, the fourth round of the F1 season, was held at the Miami International Autodrome after the cancellations of the April races due to the Middle East conflict.
Bortoleto had led the charge for Audi in the sprint race, but his disqualification came after failing to improve on his 11th place qualifying performance.
The FIA stewards confirmed the disqualification due to the technical infringement, scratching Bortoleto’s 11th place finish from the record.
This promoted Haas’ Esteban Ocon to 11th place but had no impact on the points-paying positions.
Despite the setback, Bortoleto will be able to compete in grand prix qualifying as Audi works to prevent a repeat of the engine intake air pressure issue.
