Aron and O’Sullivan penalised following Monza Sprint Race

Following the FIA Formula 2 Sprint Race from Monza, Hitech Pulse-Eight driver Paul Aron and ART Grand Prix’s Zak O’Sullivan have received post-race penalties.

Firstly, Paul Aron has been assigned a 10-second time penalty for causing a collision.

During the race, Aron made contact with Car 5, Rodin Motorsport’s Zane Maloney through Turn 1 and 2.

Afterwards, the Stewards heard from both drivers and their team representatives having also examined available video evidence. They determined that Aron had been the driver wholly to blame for the contact.

Aron remains in P20 after the application of his time penalty.

Finally, Zak O’Sullivan has been handed a five-second time penalty for a false start.

The Stewards examined video evidence and determined that the driver of Car 2 moved after the fourth red light went on and before the start signal was given. Having considered that O’Sullivan stopped after moving outside of his grid box, they elected to hand him a five-second time penalty.

Despite O’Sullivan not finishing the Sprint Race, the Stewards decided not to convert his time penalty into a grid drop for the next race in which he competes.
