Williams faces disqualification.
The Williams drivers had a decent qualifying in Singapore, but they could be excluded from the classification if a breach of the technical regulations is confirmed.
After the session the technical inspector checked the position of the upper element of the rear wing on cars numbered 23 and 55. In both cases the permitted limit of 85 mm was exceeded, which is a violation of Article 3.10.10 g. The matter has been referred to the stewards.
If the breach is confirmed, the team will be disqualified, with the drivers removed from the qualifying classification, but they will be allowed to start the race if the infringement is rectified.
