Heartbreak for Alex Dunne, who has been disqualified from the Formula 2 feature race.
Alex Dunne was disqualified from the Formula 2 feature race at the Spielberg round, where he initially finished in second place behind Richard Verschoor.
Dunne’s championship hopes suffered a setback due to a technical infringement regarding the front plank thickness of his car.
Despite the team’s acknowledgment of the measurements taken by the FIA Technical team, the front plank did not meet the minimum thickness required by the regulations.
The team explained that the front plank was new at the start of the competition, and they had accounted for the additional fuel load in the feature race by adjusting the car’s height.
However, they could not provide a valid reason for the front plank’s thickness being below the minimum permitted level during the prescribed measurements.
