Both Haas Formula 1 cars are at risk of exclusion from the results of Monaco Grand Prix qualifying after an element of non-compliance was found on both their rear wings
Haas Formula 1 cars’ results in Monaco Grand Prix qualifying are in jeopardy due to non-compliance with rear wing regulations, as both cars were found to have exceeded the permitted 85mm limit on the adjustable wing elements. Nico Hulkenberg qualified 12th and Kevin Magnussen three places behind, but now risk losing those positions and starting from the back of the grid. FIA’s technical delegate Jo Bauer identified the issue in a post-qualifying report, citing a breach of Article 3.10.10 h) concerning the drag reduction system rules. The matter has been referred to the stewards, and Haas could face exclusion if the rear wings are not brought into compliance. Despite introducing a new rear wing for increased downforce, the team may need to revert to a different spec if the current one cannot be adjusted within the regulations. Starting from the pitlane would be necessary in such a scenario, marking a premature end to Haas’s weekend if their qualifying results are invalidated.
