Saturday’s Monaco Sprint Race winner Liam Lawson has been disqualified from the results and therefore stripped of his victory.
Carlin’s Dan Ticktum has therefore been promoted to first place, having finished second on track.
Lawson was disqualified for a technical infringement according to a stewards report: “Car 07 was found to have used a throttle map not in compliance with Technical Regulations.”
Drivers are required to use a defined throttle pedal progressivity map programmed in position 1 of the steering wheel throttle map rotary knob during all formation lap starts and race starts until the car speed reaches 50kph.
Following an investigation after the race, the Stewards found that Lawson used a different throttle map at the race start, a breach of Technical Regulations, Article 3.6.5.
As well as handing Ticktum his first win of the season, the disqualification also sees Oscar Piastri climb to second and promotes Jüri Vips onto the podium. Further back, Robert Shwarztman jumps to P10 and subsequently gains the two bonus points for fastest lap.
