Marcus Ericsson lost his second place in the Indianapolis 500 due to post-race technical infractions, along with his Andretti team-mate Kyle Kirkwood and Prema driver Callum Ilott.
Andretti team-mates Ericsson and Kirkwood were demoted to 31st and 32nd for illegal aerodynamic modifications, a rare move by IndyCar which usually imposes fines or points deductions.
Prema’s Callum Ilott also faced penalties for rule infringements, leading to a reshuffling of the classification.
Foyt’s David Malukas and McLaren’s Pato O’Ward moved up to second and third place respectively following the penalties.
The battle for the championship’s second spot behind race winner Alex Palou has seen significant changes after the Indy 500.
