Overview
- FIA technical delegate Jo Bauer reported both left and right floor boards on car 06 protruded 2mm beyond the reference volume and referred the case to the stewards.
- Loss of his ninth-place result would follow a disqualification ruling and a pit-lane start would then be required under standard procedures.
- All other cars passed the same post-qualifying checks, including team-mate Max Verstappen, who secured a front-row start.
- Hadjar used Red Bull’s full upgrade package, including floor revisions, and said the car felt fast but hard to drive on Miami’s low-grip, high-heat surface.
- Organizers moved the race start earlier because of forecast thunderstorms, tightening preparation windows as the stewards weigh their decision.
