After the post-race scrutineering, a 3D scan was conducted on car #2 to assess its bodywork compliance with the official manufacturer’s CAD model. The scan revealed that the rear diffuser strakes on both sides were higher and misaligned compared to the nominal values. Technical reports confirmed the violation of regulations. During a videoconference hearing, the team manager explained that an error led to parts being delivered without proper quality control. Although no intentional misconduct was found, the stewards imposed a disqualification, resulting in other cars moving up in the final classification. Competitors were reminded of their right to appeal decisions within the specified time limits.
