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 Andretti-entered cars of Ericsson🐼 and Kyle Kirkwood used “modified Energy Management S♚ystem (EMS) covers and cover-to-A-arm mounting points with unapproved spacers and parts”.

This was in contraven🤡ti🌃on of three 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 have been relegated to 31st and 32nd position respectively in the final classification for the race, while IndyCar has been hit with a fine of $100🌳,000 for each entry.
