2019 Round 1 Sprint Race post penalty

MP Motorsport’s rookie Mahaveer Raghunathan had a challenging end to his F2 debut weekend: after today’s sprint race it was found that the Indian driver had passed the chequered flag twice and that he maintained racing speed for the duration of the extra lap.
As a consequence, Raghunathan was given a drop of 10 places on the grid for the next race which will take place in four weeks’ time at Baku in Azerbaijan.
