Red Bull junior Arvid Lindblad has issued a statement after being disqualified from the F2 feature race at last weekend\u2019s Belgian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
Lindblad finished second on the road in Sunday\u2019s feature race at Spa as Rodin driver and McLaren F1 junior Alex Dunne took victory.<\/p>\n
Red Bull junior disqualified by FIA after Belgian Grand Prix tyre breach<\/p>\n
Dunne was given a 10-second penalty after the race after he was found to have failed to follow the start procedure on the formation lap.<\/p>\n
The Irish driver\u2019s punishment should have handed the win to Lindblad, yet the Campos racer found himself excluded after a post-race investigation.<\/p>\n
Lindblad\u2019s tyre pressures were found to be below the minimum amount set by Pirelli in wet conditions, with all four of his tyres underneath the required pressures of 16.0 PSI at the front and 14.0 PSI at the rear.<\/p>\n
