Following the conclusion of the FIA Formula 3 Melbourne Feature Race, Nicola Lacorte has been assigned a post-race penalty.

The DAMS Lucas Oil driver was referred to the Stewards following a report from the Technical Delegate that indicated that Car 29 failed to activate the start set-up procedure.

The Stewards heard from the driver and team representative and determined that the start procedure had not been activated, breaching Article 37.6 of the FIA Formula 3 Sporting Regulations.

As a result, they applied a 10-second time penalty, dropping Lacorte from P19 to P25.
