Nikola Tsolov handed five-place grid penalty for Budapest Feature Race

Following the conclusion of the FIA Formula 2 Sprint Race, Nikola Tsolov has been handed a post-race penalty.

During the Sprint, the Campos Racing driver made contact with PREMA Racing's Sebastiàn Montoya at Turn 1.

After the race, the Stewards heard from both drivers and their team representatives and examined video evidence, onboard footage and GPS data. They determined that Car 6 was predominantly to blame for the collision.

Tsolov therefore has been awarded a 10-second time penalty, which is converted into a grid drop of five positions in accordance with Article 39.3(b) of the FIA Formula 2 Sporting Regulations.

The Bulgarian is now set to start the Feature Race from P12 on the grid. Drivers that qualified behind Car 6 are promoted up one position each on the grid.
