Minì disqualified, several penalised following Monza Feature Race

Following the conclusion of the Feature Race at Monza, several drivers have been given post-race penalties, while Gabriele Minì has been disqualified.

Firstly, Gabriele Minì has been disqualified from the race after his car was found to be in breach of Article 12.9 of the 2024 FIA Formula 3 Technical Regulations.

A post-race report from FIA Technical Delegate indicated that Car 2 had not met the minimum requirement with regards to its tyre pressures.

After a review, it was determined that both front tyres from Car 2 were 14.9 PSI, below the required 15.5 PSI, while both his rear tyres were 14.1 PSI, again below the minimum 14.5 PSI, constituting a rules breach and, consequently, Car 2 has been excluded from the Feature Race result.

Consequently, this promotes Leonardo Fornaroli to second and Christian Mansell to third.

Luke Browning has also been handed a penalty.

The Hitech Pulse-Eight driver has been given a 10-second time penalty after he was found to have caused a collision with Car 31 belonging to Rodin Motorsport’s Joseph Loake.

The Stewards spoke to both drivers and their team representatives after the race while also examining all the video evidence available before determining that Browning had been wholly to blame for the collision between the two drivers

This 10-second penalty is in addition to the five-second penalty Browning received during the race. As a result of his additional time penalty, Browning drops from 13th in the order to 20th.

Max Esterson has also been handed a 10-second time penalty after he was found to have a cause a collision with Car 20 belonging to Noel León.

The Stewards spoke to both drivers and their Team Representatives and examined video evidence before determining that Esterson had been wholly to blame for the incident.

Finally, Noah Stromsted has been handed a post-race time penalty.

The Campos Racing driver was involved in an incident during the race with Car 22, Van Amersfoort Racing’s Tommy Smith.

Following the race, the Stewards examined video evidence and heard from both drivers along with their team representatives and determined that Stromsted had been wholly to blame for the collision.

As a result, they applied a 10-second time penalty to the Campos driver. With his time penalty, Stromsted is 23rd in the classification.
