McLaren junior Alex Dunne has lost his F2 feature race victory at the Belgian Grand Prix over a technical breach.
McLaren junior Alex Dunne and Red Bull’s Arvid Lindblad both lost their victory in the Formula 2 feature race at the Belgian Grand Prix due to penalties. Dunne had initially won the race in the rain, propelling him to the top of the drivers’ standings as leaders Richard Verschoor and Jak Crawford failed to score any points that weekend. However, Dunne was penalized for allegedly violating specific technical regulations and failing to engage the start set-up procedure at the beginning of the formation lap. Ultimately, the stewards determined that Dunne’s actions warranted a 10-second time penalty, which dropped him to 10th place. Consequently, Lindblad was briefly awarded the race win, only to be disqualified later for having inadequate tyre pressures. This decision ultimately led to Roman Stanek securing the win, with Dunne being moved back up to ninth place. In the updated standings, Leonardo Fornaroli now leads with 125 points, followed by Richard Verschoor at 122, Jak Crawford at 116, Dunne at 114, and Luke Browning at 113.
