Incident Details

• Driver: 5 - Gabriel Bortoleto
• Competitor: Audi Revolut F1 Team
• Session: Sprint
• Fact: Engine intake air pressure exceeded the maximum permitted limit.
• Infringement: Breach of Article C5.3.2 of the FIA F1 Regulations.

Decision

Car 5 is disqualified from the Sprint classifications.

Reason

The Technical Delegate reported that the engine intake air pressure must remain below 4.8 barA at all times. This was measured by two FIA-approved devices.

The team admitted the finding was correct but argued in mitigation that the breach occurred for only one lap due to unexpected temperature rises. While the Stewards acknowledged the team's immediate corrective action, the regulations strictly require compliance 'at all times'. As this is a technical infringement, the standard penalty of disqualification was applied.
