Both Haas have been disqualified from MonacoGP qualifying and will start from the pitlane due to breaching DRS wing gap regulations
Both Haas drivers have been disqualified from the Monaco Grand Prix due to an error made by the Formula 1 team in ensuring the legality of their upgraded rear wing. Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen were meant to start in 12th and 15th positions in Monaco where Haas introduced a new high-downforce rear wing. However, a post-qualifying inspection revealed that the adjustable positions of the uppermost rear wing element exceeded the maximum allowed 85mm. Haas admitted to the error in setting the wing flap gap during a hearing with the stewards. The team had not trained its mechanics to set the gap per the new design, resulting in the disqualification despite the wing being otherwise compliant. The FIA’s technical team accepted Haas’ explanation but standard protocols led to the disqualification due to the technical breach.
