Three drivers have been issued penalties following the conclusion of Round 1’s Race in Jeddah.
Firstly, Doriane Pin has received a drive-through penalty for crossing the chequered flag twice and completing two laps at full speed until the Red Flag was shown. As the penalty could not be served in-race, it has been converted into a 20-second penalty added to her elapsed race time.
Amna Al Qubaisi has been issued a five-second time penalty for leaving the track and gaining a lasting advantage. The Stewards found that the Visa Cash App RB driver exceeded track limits at Turn 22 whilst trying to overtake Aurelia Nobels and cut the inside of Turn 23 to complete the move.
As a result, Alpine's Abbi Pulling is promoted to the race victory with Ferrari's Maya Weug in second and Tommy Hilfiger driver Nerea Martí is elevated to the podium. Jessica Edgar is classified in fifth ahead of Hamda Al Qubaisi, Bianca Bustamante and Carrie Schreiner. Amna Al Qubaisi drops to P8 ahead of Pin and Chloe Chambers completes the point scorers.
Lastly, Lola Lovinfosse has been handed a five-place grid penalty for the next race she participates in after the Charlotte Tilbury driver was found wholly responsible for causing a collision with Lia Block at Turn 1.
