Bortoleto disqualified from Miami Sprint over technical breach

Audi driver Gabriel Bortoleto has been disqualified from the Miami Grand Prix Sprint race results following a technical infringement discovered during post-race inspections. His car was found to have exceeded the maximum permitted engine intake air pressure of 4.8 barA, violating Article C5.3.2 of the FIA Technical Regulations. While Audi acknowledged the violation, the team explained that the pressure spike occurred during a single lap due to unexpectedly high temperatures, noting they had taken corrective action once identified. However, the stewards emphasized that compliance must be maintained at all times, leading to the disqualification. This incident compounds a difficult weekend for Audi, as teammate Nico Hülkenberg was forced to retire before the race began due to a fire during the reconnaissance laps.
