Haas driver Kevin Magnussen has been disqualified from the result of the United States Grand Prix.

After hearing from the team, the stewards ruled Magnussen exceeded the maximum fuel consumption limit of 105kg during the course of the race. The Haas driver was originally classified ninth.

FIA race director Charlie Whiting said Magnussen exceeded the limit on the final lap of the race.

Esteban Ocon has also been disqualified from the race for a fuel infringement. Together with Magnussen’s exclusion this means Sergio Perez moves up to eighth place wiuth Brendon Hartley now ninth and Marcus Ericsson 10th.

Haas has the right to appeal the decision.

This is the second time this year a Haas driver has been disqualified from a race. Romain Grosjean was thrown out of the Italian Grand Prix result after his car’s floor was found to violate the rules. The team’s appeal against that decision will be heard on November 1st.
