Bortoleto handed post-Feature Race penalty

Following the conclusion of the FIA Formula 2 Feature Race in Barcelona, Invicta Racing’s Gabriel Bortoleto has been handed a time-penalty.

The Brazilian collided with teammate Kush Maini on the final lap of the race as the pair fought for sixth position.

After the race, the Stewards heard from both drivers and examined all available video evidence, before determining that Bortoleto had been the driver wholly responsible for the contact.

As a result, the Stewards elected to apply a five-second time penalty to the Brazilian.

With the time penalty applied, Bortoleto drops from seventh in the Feature Race classification down to 10th, promoting Zane Maloney, Amaury Cordeel and Josep María Martí up one place each in the order.
