Isack Hadjar penalised following Spielberg Qualifying

Isack Hadjar has received a three-place grid penalty following Round 8’s Qualifying session in Spielberg.
During the session, the Hitech Pulse-Eight driver was found to have impeded Jack Doohan at the entrance to Turn 9. The Stewards found that whilst Hadjar went to extra effort to avoid impeding several cars whilst warming up his tyres, he ultimately and almost inevitably impeded the Invicta Virtuosi Racing driver, as the rest of the field were on push laps.
Hadjar will remain P21 on the grid for Saturday’s Sprint Race after Ralph Boschung penalty from Free Practice has been applied.
