They violated the regulation

It turns out that the regulation is clear and the group violated Article 2.5.5 of the International Sports Code of the FIA.

The stewards realized that the team changed the tires before taking the car in for inspection.

All the cars must be checked before the qualifying test, but when modifying the tires they were penalized.

This indicates that Montoya and his teammates will be able to start the test, but they will do so from the last position on the grid, which is why they did so in 28th place.

In the test, Montoya was very fast, he took risks in each corner and came back, finishing in 13th place.
