In a dramatic turn of events, the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) has confirmed the disqualification of Kimi Raikkonen from the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix. The announcement came just hours after the race concluded, sending shockwaves through the Formula 1 community.
Raikkonen, who had originally finished 7th on the grid, was found to have breached technical regulations during post-race scrutineering. According to the FIA’s official statement, the issue stemmed from an irregularity in the car’s floor dimensions, which did not comply with the sport’s strict technical guidelines.
“The car did not meet the minimum specifications required under Article 3.15 of the technical regulations,” the statement read. “As such, it has been excluded from the final classification.”
This disqualification marks a disappointing end to what had been a promising weekend for the veteran driver, who had shown strong pace during both qualifying and the race. Raikkonen’s team has expressed surprise at the decision, stating that they are investigating the issue and may consider an appeal.
The ruling has shifted the final results of the race, promoting several drivers up the standings. Most notably, Fernando Alonso now inherits 7th place, earning valuable points in the championship race.
Formula 1 fans will be closely watching the team’s response and whether the FIA’s decision will be challenged. With the Canadian Grand Prix just weeks away, teams are reminded once again of the unforgiving nature of technical compliance in the world’s premier racing series.
