Andrew Green, the chief technical officer at Force India, has said that he believes that it is “absolutely” clear that the Haas car was not within the regulations in Monza. Grosjean finished a brilliant sixth for the team at the race two weeks ago, but after a protest from their closest rivals Renault, the team were investigated and then disqualified from the race.
The team was disqualified due to a breach of a new technical directive given to all teams regarding the floor of the car, and were given up until Monza to conform. However, Haas apparently approached the FIA saying that they could not manufacture the new part in time, and that they would have it on the car in time for Singapore.
