Matteo De Palo disqualified from Monza Qualifying

Matteo De Palo has been disqualified from the Monza Qualifying session for a technical infringement.

Car 6 was referred to the Stewards by the FIA Technical Delegate after it was found that the height of the diffuser on the TRIDENT car was below the required minimum height as laid out in Article 3.4.1a of the 2026 FIA Formula 3 Technical Regulations.

The part in question was measured 3mm lower than the stipulated height in the Regulations on the left-hand side.

Having received the Technical Report, the Stewards heard from a TRIDENT team representative and determined that the height of the diffuser was below the minimum stipulated height without justifiable cause.

As a result, Car 6 was disqualified in line with the standard penalty for a technical infringement.
