Ferrari's statement regarding the disqualification of both cars

      Shortly after the finish of the Chinese Grand Prix, the first reports appeared that the Ferrari results would be annulled due to the fact that the cars of Charles Leclair and Lewis Hamilton did not comply with the technical regulations.

      In the first case, because of the underweight, in the second - because the control bar on the bottom of the Ferrari No. 44 turned out to be too worn, and we talked about it.

      Consequently, the results of the second stage of the season have been revised, and the Italian team has issued a separate statement on this issue. Here is his text:

      "The FIA technical Inspection revealed after the race that both of our cars did not comply with the regulations for various reasons.

      It turned out that machine No. 16 is 1 kg lighter, and the wear of the control bar in the rear of machine No. 44 is 0.5 mm higher than the maximum permissible value.

      Charles drove the race with one pit stop, which means that his tires were very worn out, and this led to the underweight of the car. As for the control bar on the Lewis machine, we made a small error in calculating its possible wear.

      We had no intention of gaining any advantage.

      We will draw conclusions from what happened today and guarantee that such mistakes will not happen again.

      Of course, this is not how we wanted to end our performance at the Chinese Grand Prix; we had other intentions..."
