Sebastián Montoya handed grid penalties following Budapest Qualifying

Following the conclusion of today’s FIA Formula 2 Qualifying in Budapest, Sebastián Montoya has been awarded grid penalties for both the Sprint and Feature Races.

Montoya was summoned to the Stewards after the session for allegedly impeding Car 12 belonging to Kush Maini of DAMS Lucas Oil.

After hearing from both drivers, along with their respective team representatives, the Stewards determined that Montoya had unnecessarily impeded Maini at the exit of Turn 2, breaching Article 31.6 of the FIA Formula 2 Sporting Regulations.

As a result, they elected to impose a grid drop of three positions for both races this weekend.

Having been set to start both races from P18, Montoya will now line up in P21.
