Luke Browning penalised following Silverstone Sprint Race

Following the conclusion of Saturday afternoon’s Silverstone Sprint Race, Hitech TGR’s Luke Browning has been penalised for causing a collision.

On the final lap of the race, Car 7 of Browning collided with the ART Grand Prix Car 14 belonging to Victor Martins at Turn 7.

After the race, the Stewards investigated the matter using video evidence and also heard from both drivers and Team Representatives.

It was determined that Browning had been solely to blame for the collision as the driver of Car 7 at no point had its front axle alongside Car 14, and so did not have right to space at the exit. But even at the point of contact, Car 7 had plenty of space to the left.

As a result, the Stewards handed a 10-second time penalty to Browning, dropping him from seventh to 12th in the final classification.

It moves all cars that finished behind him in the original classification up one position each, with Martins now taking the final points position in P8.
