In a dramatic post-race twist, the FIA has officially confirmed the disqualification of Kimi Räikkönen from the Monaco Grand Prix. The decision follows detailed technical inspections conducted after the race, where Räikkönen’s car was found to be in breach of FIA regulations.

While the FIA has not released the full technical report, initial information suggests the disqualification may be related to a non-compliant car component or failure to meet post-race technical criteria. As a result, Räikkönen’s finishing position and any points gained have been voided.

The governing body released a brief statement:
“Following post-race scrutineering at the Monaco Grand Prix, the car driven by Kimi Räikkönen was found to be non-compliant with the technical regulations. In accordance with the International Sporting Code, the driver has been disqualified from the results of the race.”

Räikkönen’s team has the option to appeal the decision, though it has yet to issue a formal response. The disqualification alters the final race classification, with all drivers behind him moving up a position in the official results.

The incident marks a rare but impactful regulatory decision at one of the sport’s most prestigious events, and it adds an unexpected twist to the 2025 Formula 1 season. More details are expected as the FIA prepares to release its full findings.
