Several drivers handed post Montreal Qualifying penalties

Following the conclusion of Friday’s Montreal Qualifying session, several drivers have been penalised.

Firstly, Rafael Câmara has been handed a three-place grid penalty for impeding.

The Invicta Racing driver was alleged to have impeded Car 17, Alexander Dunne during the session.

Following a post session hearing and having heard from both drivers and their team representatives along with examining available video evidence, the Stewards determined that Car 1 had unnecessarily impeded Car 15.

As a result, they elected to hand Câmara a three-place grid penalty for both the Sprint and Feature Race, as per Article 31.6 of the Formula 2 Sporting Regulations.

Secondly, Alexander Dunne has also been handed a three-place grid penalty for impeding.

The Rodin Motorsport driver was alleged to have impeded Car 23, Rafael Villagómez during the session.

Oliver Goethe has had his fastest time deleted from Qualifying.

The driver of Car 10 hit the barrier at Turn 4 and stopped, causing a Red Flag. As the sole cause of the stoppage, Goethe breached Article 33.5 of the FIA Formula 2 Sporting Regulations. The Stewards heard from both the driver and a MP Motorsport team representative following the session and also examined available video evidence.
