Marcus Ericsson has lost his second place finish in the Indianapolis 500 due to a technical violation, IndyCar announced on Monday.

Post-🍨race checks revealed that the An🦄dretti-entered cars of Ericsson and Kyle Kirkwood used “modified Energy Management System (EMS) covers and cover-to-A-arm mounting points with unapproved spacers and parts”.

This was in contravention of thre𝔍e different regulations, including Rule 14.3.1 which mandates that “all parts provided by an Approved Supplier must be used as supplied without modification unless otherwise approved by INDYCAR and stated in these Rules or in update bulletins.” 

As such, Ericsson and Kirkwood hav൩e been relegated to 31st and 32nd position respectively in the fin𝓡al classification for the race, while IndyCar has been hit with a fine of $100,000 for each entry.

In Ilott's case, the car did not meet the minimum endplate height and location specification, breaking rule 14.7.6.8 and 14.7.6.4 of th📖e series' technical regulations.

As w𒅌as the case with Andretti, Prema has been fined a $100,000.
