Starting grid of the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix revolutionized in Formula 2, with the exception of Gabriel Bortoleto. The Brazilian, author of the pole position, was reconfirmed at the top of the standings after the Race Direction’s review of the laps completed by all the drivers, some of whom penalized for not respecting the track limits in their fast laps.
It was the one who paid the heaviest bill Andrea Kimi Antonelli. The Bolognese, 4th at the end of qualifying, will be forced to start from 18th position in Sunday’s Feature Race. In reality, the cold shower in Prema had also come to the detriment of Oliver Bearman, 2nd in qualifying but was also penalized and relegated to 16th place. However, at 6.45pm, a new decision was communicated by the Race Direction, which time reallocated to the British driver, thus reconfirming his second position. Below, the updated starting grid, with Richard Verschoor starting from pole in tomorrow’s Sprint Race.
