Following the conclusion of the FIA Formula 3 Sprint Race from Monte Carlo, two drivers have been handed a post-race penalty.
Firstly, Van Amersfoort Racing driver Sophia Floersch has been handed grid penalty. During the race, she made contact with MP Motorsport’s Kacper Sztuka during an attempted overtake.
Following the Sprint, they heard from both drivers and their respective team representatives and determined that Floersch had been wholly responsible for the contact.
With the VAR driver not classified, the Stewards have assigned a grid drop of five places. She will serve the penalty at the next race in which she competes in.
Lastly, James Hedley, the driver of the #19 Jenzer Motorsport car, failed to stay above the minimum time delta during the Safety Car procedure.
Having heard from both the driver and team representative, the Stewards determined that Hedley had indeed failed to stay above the required time in two consecutive marshalling sectors.
As a result, they assigned a five-second time penalty to be added to the Briton’s race time. The time penalty doesn’t change Hedley’s finishing position as he remains in P20.
