Mekies on disqualification
Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies has already issued a statement on the disqualification of Isack Hadjar and explained: “We made a mistake and respect the decision of the race stewards.”
“Through this mistake, neither a performance advantage was intended nor was one gained. We will learn from this incident and review our processes to understand how it happened and take measures to ensure it does not happen again.”
“As a team, we apologize to Isack as well as to our fans and partners. We have learned a hard lesson today, but we will look ahead. Now we focus on turning yesterday’s promising performance into a strong race result this afternoon.”

Hadjar disqualified
That was quick today: About half an hour after the hearing, a result is already available. Not surprisingly, Isack Hadjar is disqualified. That was foreseeable, as the rules leave no room for maneuver.
He thus falls back to the last place on the starting grid. Here is the updated classification:

Hadjar hearing underway
We will of course keep you informed here in the coming hours about a possible disqualification of Isack Hadjar. A hearing is currently taking place in Miami – which will probably end with the Frenchman losing his ninth starting position.

Rain in Miami
To start the day, a weather update from Miami: It just rained briefly. The current forecast looks like this: it should rain in the morning and again in the afternoon.
At noon there is a dry window, which is why Formula 1 has brought the start forward to 13:00 local time. We will of course keep you updated with further updates.
