Penalties for O’Young, Bennani and Michelisz

The Stewards investigated three different incidents: two in Race 1 and one in Race 2.
Darryl O’Young was judged guilty of pushing Tiago Monteiro into a spin during the first race. He received a 30-second time penalty that dropped him from 8th to 17th and handed the Independents’ victory to Kristian Poulsen.

The same penalty was imposed to Mehdi Bennani for a collision with Poulsen in Race 2. The Moroccan racer was therefore demoted from 15th to 16th.

Both O’Young and Bennani were also given a drop of 10-grid positions that will remain suspended for two and one events (respectively).

A drop of grid position was also awarded to Norbert Michelisz for the collision with Colin Turkington after the restart of the first race. In this case the penalty will be applied at the next race in Oschersleben.
