Round 5 post-Feature Race penalties

Following today’s FIA Formula 2 Feature Race at the Circuit Paul Ricard, it was found that Mahaveer Raghunathan had infringed all three VSC procedures. As a consequence, the Indian driver will have an additional 15 seconds added to his total race time, as well as 3 penalty points for each infringement.

Raghunathan’s total number of penalty points accrued by him has reached 12 points. Therefore, he will be suspended from F2’s next event at the Red Bull Ring in Austria next week, following which 12 points will be removed. Penalty points will remain on his record until the end of the season after which they will be removed.

Furthermore, Tatiana Calderon was also found guilty of two VSC infringements and will have an additional 10 seconds added to her total race time.

Finally, Sean Gelael will start tomorrow’s sprint race from the pit lane exit after the Stewards found him responsible for the contact that saw himself and PREMA Racing teammate Mick Schumacher both forced to retire from today’s feature race.

It was determined that the Indonesian went off track prior to Turn 3 and when rejoining the track was deemed not to be in full control of his car before the collision. This is a breach of Appendix L Chapter IV, Article 2 (d) of the 2019 FIA International Sporting Code.
