Dunne, Meguetounif and Bennett penalised following Monte Carlo Feature Race

Following the conclusion of the FIA Formula 2 Feature Race in Monte Carlo, three drivers have received post-race penalties.

Firstly, Alexander Dunne has been handed a post-race drive-through penalty.

At the original race start, Car 17 of Dunne made contact with Car 14 of Victor Martins at Turn 1.

Following the race, the Stewards heard from both drivers and their team representatives and also analysed available video evidence.

They determined that the Rodin Motorsport driver as the one wholly at fault. They also factored in the tight layout of the Monte Carlo circuit, and the availability of space to the inside of Turn 1 to avoid the collision.

As a result, the Stewards imposed a drive-through penalty. With Dunne not able to serve the penalty as a result of not finishing the race, his penalty has been converted into a 10- place grid drop. The Irish driver has also been assigned three penalty points for his role in the incident. He will serve the grid penalty at the next race in which he competes.

Next, John Bennett has been given a five-second time penalty.

The Van Amersfoort Racing driver was found to have been below the minimum delta time at two consecutive sectors under Safety Car conditions.

After hearing from the driver and team representative and having reviewed GPS track map data and video evidence, the Stewards determined that Car 24 had breached the delta time, contravening Article 40.7 of the F2 Sporting Regulations.

As a result, Bennett has been given a five-second time penalty. With the penalty applied, the British driver remains 11th in the classification.

Finally, Sami Meguetounif has been handed a five-second time penalty.

The TRIDENT driver was found to have also been below the minimum delta time in two consecutive sectors under Safety Car conditions.

After hearing from the driver and TRIDENT team representative, and analysing GPS track map data and video evidence, the Stewards determined that Car 22 was below the delta time, breaching Article 40.7 of the F2 Sporting Regulations.

As a result, they applied the standard five-second time penalty for the infringement. With his penalty applied, Meguetounif remains 12th in the Feature Race classification
