Williams is set to have both cars disqualified from F1 Singapore GP qualifying for a technical infringement
Williams is facing disqualification from the Singapore Grand Prix qualifying due to a technical infringement. Despite Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz qualifying in 12th and 13th place for the Sunday race at Marina Bay, their cars did not pass the post-qualifying inspections. The issue arose when it was found that both cars exceeded the maximum limit of 85mm on both sides of the rear wing outer area during the DRS flap check. This technical breach typically results in exclusion, making the situation clear-cut. The incident is particularly disappointing as it follows Sainz’s first-ever podium for Williams in Azerbaijan. Sainz had shown good form during practice, appearing stronger than Albon and poised for a top 10 start. However, Williams faced challenges in Q1 and Q2, leading to further frustration with the failed inspection.
