Following today’s Free Practice at Silverstone, Sergio Canamasas was found guilty of showing unsporting behavior towards Oliver Rowland after the chequered flag. This continued during the slow-down lap and following the practice starts.
As a consequence, the Carlin driver was given a drop of 3 grid positions for the Feature Race on Saturday.

Following today’s Qualifying at Silverstone, it was found that Sergey Sirotkin failed to stop at the scrutineering weighbridge and the car was not brought back before the mechanics worked on it.

As a consequence, the Russian driver who had qualified fifth will start from the pitlane for tomorrow’s Feature Race.
