In a dramatic development during the Canadian Grand Prix weekend, a leading Red Bull driver has been officially summoned by Formula 1’s governing body, the FIA, following a disqualification verdict that has sent shockwaves through the paddock.

The incident stems from an investigation launched after Friday’s qualifying session, where FIA scrutineers flagged potential irregularities related to the car’s floorboard specifications and rear-wing flexibility. The Red Bull team had initially dismissed the concerns as routine, but after a thorough review, the FIA ruled that the car breached technical regulations, leading to a disqualification from qualifying results.

As a result, the Red Bull driver — whose name has not yet been officially confirmed — was summoned for a formal hearing ahead of Sunday’s race. According to FIA sources, the disqualification verdict could have a major impact on the grid lineup and potentially shake up the championship standings.

Red Bull Racing has responded swiftly, indicating they will consider appealing the decision, calling it “harsh and unprecedented.” A team spokesperson stated, “We respect the FIA process but are extremely surprised by this outcome. We believe the car complied with all technical standards, and we will be exploring all avenues for review.”

This marks one of the most controversial moments of the 2025 F1 season so far, especially given Red Bull’s dominant performance over the past few races. Fans are now left in suspense as the team scrambles to make adjustments ahead of the Grand Prix.

As the dust settles, all eyes will be on the FIA’s next move — and whether Red Bull can recover from this major setback at one of the calendar’s most iconic races.
