Ocon & Magnussen disqualified from US Grand Prix!

Both Esteban Ocon and Kevin Magnussen have been disqualified from the United States Grand Prix after the race, as both drivers had fuel-related penalties that forced the FIA to strip them from their points.

Ocon and Magnussen finished eighth and ninth respectively, scoring vital points for their teams in the midfield battle but are now stripped of those points, moving Sergio Pérez up to eighth, Brendon Hartley to ninth and Marcus Ericsson to tenth - that's the biggest points-haul in Hartley's F1 career!

With Renault scoring points with both cars in sixth and seventh, it leaves Haas trailing the French team by 22 points now with just three races to go as neither car of the American team could bring home points in their home race. On top of that, Romain Grosjean retired after just one lap after ramming Charles Leclerc and has two more penalty points on his racing licence, bringing him two points off of a suspension.

Magnussen's Haas simply had more fuel at the start of the race than the 105 kg limit, which is penalized by disqualification. That's a silly mistake from Haas, especially as the battle for the fourth place in the constructors' championship is closer than ever.

As for Ocon, his car was found to have exceeded the maximum fuel mass flow in the first lap of the Grand Prix. In that lap, he dropped three places from sixth to ninth, before eventually finishing eighth.
