Both Trident’s race winner Richard Verschoor and team-mate Roman Stanek have been disqualified from Saudi Arabia’s Formula 2 Sprint race after a technical breach.
F2 issued a report which read that: “The Trident #22 and #23 cars were found to have had an incorrect throttle pedal progressivity map installed prior to the race which was not in compliance with Article 8.2.6 of the Technical Regulations.”
As a result, Verschoor has been stripped of his victory, promoting MP Motorsport’s Dennis Hauger to first place and Hitech’s Paul Aron to second.
Van Amersfoort Racing’s Enzo Fittipaldi can now add a podium result to his records after being promoted to third, with Zane Maloney’s fine drive from 15th on the grid now resulting in a fourth-place finish.
DAMS Jak Crawford, Prema’s Andrea Antonelli, Campos Racing’s Josep Maria Martí and Invicta’s Kush Maini complete the points-paying positions to eighth.
Stanek loses 10th spot and as a result Maini’s Invicta teammate and McLaren Development Driver Gabriel Bortoleto completes the new top-10.
The amended result means that Maloney now sits with 41 points at the top of the Drivers’ standings, with Aron on 28 points in second.
Martí lies third with 26 points and new race winner Hauger sits fourth in the standings with 16 points.
Verschoor and Stanek remain with zero points on the board.
