After placing 11th in Saturday's sprint race at Miami International Autodrome, Audi's Gabriel Bortoleto was disqualified and thus excluded from the results over a technical breach.
The violation was related to engine intake air pressure. His car was discovered to have exceeded the maximum limit of 4.8 barA, which breaches Article C5.3.2 of the FIA F1 Technical Regulations.
Due to the exclusion, Bortoleto was effectively scored 22nd of 22 drivers in the 19-lap race around the 19-turn, 3.363-mile (5.412-kilometer) temporary street circuit around Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
While the disqualification did promote each of the nine drivers who finished behind him in the race, plus the two who didn't start, by one position, it notably had no effect on the driver standings or the constructor standings.
Only the top eight drivers score points in sprint races, and quite frankly, even had the P11 finish come in a Grand Prix, it still would not have resulted in a change to the standings, since Grands Prix result in only 10 point scorers.
McLaren's Lando Norris won the sprint race from pole and collected eight points. Points decrease by one point per position from P1 through P8 in sprint events.
Here's a full look at the sprint race results, following the disqualification.
