Post Monza Qualifying penalties

Following yesterday’s FIA Formula 3 Qualifying, a number of penalties have been handed out amongst the grid, ahead of Race 1 at the Autodromo di Monza.

Marcus Armstrong, Jehan Daruvala, Robert Shwartzman, Bent Viscaal, Jake Hughes and Teppei Natori have all been handed 10 place grid penalties for driving unnecessarily slowly. Each driver was issued with two separate five-place grid drops for two episodes of the same infringement. They will now start 7th, 10th, 8th, 28th, 18th and 12th respectively.

Meanwhile, Liam Lawson, Felipe Drugovich, Logan Sargeant, Niko Kari, Leonardo Pulcini, Jüri Vips and Ye Yifei have all been handed five place grid penalties for one incident for driving unnecessarily slowly. They will now start 14th, 29th, 22nd, 11th, 27th, 17th and 30th respectively.

Furthermore, David Beckmann, Max Fewtrell and Christian Lundgaard have all been handed three place grid penalties for driving unnecessarily slowly. They will now start 21st, 5th and 1st.

Having considered the matters extensively, the stewards determined that the driver of each car could have driven in a different manner, which would have alleviated or avoided the issue of cars building up behind on track.

Finally, Pulcini has been handed an additional three-place grid drop. The Italian was found to have impeded Devlin DeFrancesco at Turn 10, due to a lack of situational awareness of the cars around him, while he was warming his tyres. As mentioned, he will start from 27th.
