It was to be expected. Author of a somewhat daring maneuver while trying to overtake his teammate Victor Martins in the Sprint Race, Theo Pourchaire (ART Grand Prix) finally harpooned Oliver Bearman (Prema) in his tracks. If he quickly apologized to the Briton, the Tricolor logically did not escape the college of commissioners in the process.

Heard after the Sprint Race, Théo Pourchaire received a penalty of 5 places on the grid for the Main Race this Sunday (14:15 p.m.) as well as a withdrawal of 2 points from his license. As a result, the Sauber protégé will start from 8th place.
