Following Saturday\u2019s Yas Marina Sprint Race, Leonardo Fornaroli has been handed a penalty.<\/p>\n
The Invicta Racing driver was alleged to have left the track at Turn 6 and gained a lasting advantage in a battle with Richard Verschoor.<\/p>\n
After the race, the Stewards spoke to both drivers and their team representatives and examined the available video evidence.<\/p>\n
While Fornaroli felt he had given back the advantage by lifting on the track, the Stewards pointed to the Driving Standards guidelines which states that if a driver leaves the track and maintains a position when they come back on to the track, it will generally be considered by the Stewards as having gained an advantage. <\/p>\n
As a result, the Stewards deemed that Fornaroli had gained a lasting advantage, breaching Article 27.3 of the FIA Formula 2 Sporting Regulations.<\/p>\n
Therefore, he has been given a 10-second time penalty, dropping him from P11 to P17 in the final classification.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following Saturday\u2019s Yas Marina Sprint Race, Leonardo Fornaroli has been handed a penalty.
