Bahrain Grand Prix Results Overturned After Nico Hülkenberg Disqualified for Skid Block Violation Similar to Hamilton’s Earlier Breach
The Bahrain Grand Prix itself offered plenty of action and talking points, including strong performances from McLaren’s Oscar Piastri, who claimed victory, and George Russell, who managed a podium finish for Mercedes despite battling technical issues. Hülkenberg’s disqualification, however, has added another layer of post-race intrigue and once again brought technical regulations into the spotlight.
The FIA’s rigorous checks and the consequences of non-compliance—even when no clear performance gain is evident—underscore the importance of teams balancing performance with precision in setup. As the season progresses, this incident is likely to serve as a case study in the paddock on the significance of ride height, skid block wear, and ensuring every component of the car is within the allowed parameters.
With more races on the calendar and the championship still wide open, both Hülkenberg and Kick Sauber will aim to regroup, learn from this technical setback, and return stronger in the next round.
