Max Verstappen rival facing late disqualification days after race as Red Bull pay the price
The Red Bull Team ABT may be disqualified from the Nurburgring 24 Hours for potential engine power violations in their Lamborghini. The engine allegedly exceeded the allowed power limit, and the final classification is pending a steward decision. The routine post-race checks revealed the engine’s higher power output, breaching technical requirements. The car driven by Bortolotti, Engstler, and Niederhauser had about 20 extra horsepower beyond the permitted level. Inspection delays occurred due to a faulty clutch, affecting the disqualification process of the Red Bull-sponsored entry. Race officials flagged concerns about the car’s high speeds and lap records during the event, leading to further investigation. The stewards will review the technical report along with responses from the team representatives to determine the final outcome of the potential disqualification.
