Lawson disqualified from Race 2, victory for Ticktum

Victorious earlier in the morning of Race 2, New Zealander Liam Lawson (Hitech Grand Prix) lost his victory after being disqualified from Race 2 by the stewards. The Kiwi is accused of having used a non-compliant accelerator pedal card at the time of departure. 

This disqualification is costly for Liam Lawson, who was eleven lengths behind the championship leader Guanyu-Zhou. He therefore loses the fifteen points offered to the winner of the sprint race and offers them on a plate to Daniel Ticktum (Carlin) who recovers his first victory of the year. In his misfortune, Lawson offers at least a first podium to his Estonian teammate Jüri Vips. Theo Pourchaire moves him up to 4th place and earns two additional points.
