Deledda served with a three-place grid drop for the Feature Race

HWA RACELAB driver Alessio Deledda has been given a three-place grid drop for the Feature Race in Yas Marina, following an incident during Sprint Race 2 on Saturday.

The Italian driver was found to be wholly responsible for a collision with Olli Caldwell. When approaching Turn 9, Deledda moved to the left side of the track to defend from the Campos Racing driver, who had a significant portion of his Car inside.

The Stewards determined that Deledda did not give Caldwell enough room, which resulted in the two colliding. Fortunately, Caldwell was able to continue and finished in 15th, while Deledda was forced to retire.

With the penalty applied, his starting position does not change.
