Hughes disqualified from Sprint, Boschung penalized

Like Friday following qualifying, the race direction had a lot of work after the Sprint Race this Saturday on the Corniche side of Jeddah. Third under the checkerboard, Jake Hughes (VAR) was disqualified due to a violation of the technical regulations. “ Unfortunately, we were disqualified from the Sprint race. A technical infraction which still slowed us down, but the rules are the rules and we admit having made a mistake,” he wrote on Twitter.

Concerning Ralph Boschung, the race direction imposed a 20-second penalty on him for incorrect positioning in his location on the grid. Initially 8th and winning the last point awarded in the Sprint Race, the Swiss fell to 16th place.

Guaranteed to start last in the Main Race after his qualifying downgrade on Friday, Jack Doohan (Virtuosi) received a 3rd place penalty. The Australian was found guilty of the collision with Logan sargeant (Pug).
