Verschoor disqualified from Budapest Sprint Race, Maini inherits win

Following the conclusion of the FIA Formula 2 Sprint Race in Budapest, Trident’s Richard Verschoor has been disqualified from the results.

A post-race report by the FIA Technical Delegate indicated that the plank on Car #22 had a maximum thickness of 3.7mm at the most rearward scrutineering hole, below the minimum specified thickness in the 2024 FIA Formula 2 Technical Regulations.

It was determined that the plank fitted to Verschoor’s car was indeed below the minimum thickness required, therefore breaching Article 3.4.3 of the Technical Regulations, and Car 22 was thus disqualified from the Sprint Race classification.

Invicta Racing’s Kush Maini inherits P1, marking the first time the Indian driver has won in Formula 2.

Campos Racing’s Isack Hadjar is also promoted to the final podium position and earns the point for fastest lap, while Juan Manuel Correa of DAMS Lucas Oil now takes the final point in eighth place.
