The following penalties were appealed, with the following outcomes:
Mr. Hutchinson contents that the shortcut was in an attempt to avoid a collision, after Mr. Pikkarainen was taking the corner at a slower speed than Mr. Hutchinson was. Mr. Hutchinson also contends that the shortcut advantage was negated by his lifting off the throttle after rejoining the tarmac. Mr. Hutchinson also contends that the pass would have happened on that straight regardless of shortcut, due to the speed differential through Turn 1.
After consideration of the opinion of the penalized driver, the penalty is overturned.
Meh Racing, on behalf of Mr Ford, have appealed this penalty. The Team Representative, Mr Booth, contends that Mr Ford did not at the time of the incident receive a yellow flag message; that Mr Ford was focused on the whereabouts of Car 07, and was unable to sight or respond to in time to the stationary car 91.
Accounting for the view information provided from Mr Ford, this contention is deemed acceptable. Mr. Ford's disqualification will be reversed. and he will be returned to his finishing position.
Mr Riegler has contended that his quick driving after the excusrion into the Turn 4 gravel was to return to the pits in a timely manner. Mr Riegler also contends that ample opportunities to take out Mr Lind were offered, but not taken.
After consideration of the full opinion provided by Mr Riegler, the decision has been made to reverse all penalties listed in association with Mr Riegler's Actions.
Please Note: Full updates to points affected will occur shortly prior to the final round start time.
