Audi’s sole car in Formula 1’s Miami Grand Prix sprint race, driven by Gabriel Bortoleto, has been disqualified for an engine technical infringement
Audi’s car in Formula 1’s Miami Grand Prix sprint race has been disqualified for an engine technical infringement. Gabriel Bortoleto finished 11th in Saturday’s race after Audi team-mate Nico Hulkenberg failed to start due to a mechanical failure. It marks the third time in five events that an Audi driver couldn’t start due to engine problems. Bortoleto was disqualified as his engine’s intake air pressure exceeded the allowed limit. Audi argued the pressure rose temporarily due to high temperatures but FIA deemed the car non-compliant. Bortoleto missed the grand prix qualifying, his car dismantled, while Hulkenberg was ready for the next session.
