Esteban Ocon has been disqualified.

      The stewards of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix disqualified Esteban Ocon, removing him from the qualifying classification, for his car's non-compliance with the technical regulations. An inspection after qualifying found that the rear wing flap on the Haas VF-25 flexed by 0.6 millimetres on the left and by 0.825 millimetres on the right, while the regulations allow a maximum deflection of 0.5 millimetres. Haas acknowledged the infringement, attributing it to manufacturing problems with the specific component. Esteban Ocon will be able to start the race with a new rear wing.
