Following the conclusion of today’s Spa-Francorchamps Sprint Race, several drivers have been handed post-race time-penalties.

After the Sprint Race, the Stewards received a report from the Race Director, noting that several drivers had exceeded track limits during the Sprint, breaching the 2024 FIA Formula 3 Sporting Regulations.

Trident’s Leonardo Fornaroli, Sami Meguetounif and Santiago Ramos, as well as Hitech Pulse-Eight’s Martinius Stenshorne and Jenzer Motorsport’s Charlie Wurz were found to have exceeded track limits.

Therefore, they have each been assigned a five-second time penalty in accordance with Article 39.3 (a) of the FIA Formula 3 Sporting Regulations.

This drops Fornaroli from P8 to P9, while Ramos drops from fifth to eighth, with Meguetounif in P27. Stenshorne is demoted from P15 to P18 while Wurz stays in P26.

For Meguetounif, the five-second penalty will be added to the 30-seconds he was given during the race.

Additionally, MP Motorsport’s Alexander Dunne, Hitech’s Luke Browning, Van Amersfoort Racing’s Tommy Smith and AIX Racing’s Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak have been given two separate time penalties each.

Post-race, the quartet were found to have exceeded track limits on five occasions and have each been given the corresponding five-second time penalties in accordance with FIA Formula 3 Sporting Regulations.

As a result, Dunne drops down to 23rd from 14th, while Browning goes from sixth to P12. Smith is demoted from P18 to P25.

Inthraphuvasak’s 10-second time penalty will be added to the 10-seconds he was given during the race, but he remains in P29.

Lastly, Mari Boya has had 25 seconds added on to his time for the same track limits violations on eight separate occasions.

The Campos Racing driver therefore drops from P21 to P28.
