Protests

#1 Matheus Maia - Giuseppe Rainieri Q1

Protest: Rainieri is on a hot lap and go in behind Maia who is on right side weaving to warm tyres. Its clear for all, even Maia that Rainieri is comming fast! and then when rainieri want to make the pass, maia make extra long and wide weacing and they chrash! very bad driving of maia, we feel it deserves a protest!

Review: No replay time stamp specified in protest. Server replay of Rainieri shows no car on track.

Verdict: Nothing

#2 Eduard Mallorqui - Matteo Vecchioni - Lap 1 T11

Protest: Eduard make mistake in the corner, vecchioni overtake. then eduard turn directly into vecchioni, totally smash into the side of him very agressive. this make contract and vecchioni loose little controll because of this very dangourous maneuvere of Eduard. Eduard retake the position and Vechioni loose 3 position. we make protest because this driving we feel is very very bad from Eduard

Review: Vecchioni attempts a surprising overtake of Mallorqui on the inside of T9. Mallorqui takes the normal racing line and as a result the two cars have light contact. Mallorqui could have given a bit more room but the move of of Vecchioni was very optimistic, which definitely caught Mallorqui by surprise.

Verdict: Nothing

#3 Tom Eley - Alban Deslie - Lap 1 T14

Protest: exit of corner deslie pushes agressively and chrashes into me, spinning me off the track.

Review: Deslie is on the inside alongside Eley when exiting 14. Eley straightens the car a bit too much on the exit of the turn, as there was more room on the outside of the corner. Had Eley used the empty space on the outside of the corner, the incident could have been avoided.

Verdict: Nothing

#4 Matteo Vecchioni - Alban Deslie - Lap 2 T11

Protest: Alban make bad overtake of Vecchioni. he touch in begin of overtake, and when try to recover from the 1st part of bad overtake he cut to much back on the line and make the situation worse.. this is a overtake out of controll, and it cannot be accepted for us, we dont like this maneuvre. So we make protest on alban for risky, bad and dangorouns overtake attempt.

Review: Deslie and Vecchioni are alongside at the turn 11 apex. Deslie has more space on the inside available but keeps turning into the line of Vecchioni for a bit too long. Nothing severe but nevertheless Deslie should have been more cautious.

Verdict: 0.5 penalty points to Deslie

#5 Fred Gosling - Stefan Kanitz - Lap 6 T16

Protest: Fred gosling make mistake in 2nd last corner, the hairpin. kanitz get on the side of fred, and on the run towards the last corner gosling make to agressive driving and force kanitz to the outside, he dont leave fair amount of space for kanitz. we feel this driving is very bad and unfair, and make kanitz loose position!!

Review: There is still enough space for both cars to travel alongside without risking contact.

Verdict: Nothing

#6 Fred Gosling - Stefan Kanitz - Lap 7 T1

Protest: After being overtaken Fred totally miss the first corner, and take out kanitz. with this mistake of fred he chrash kanitz off the track. kanitz loose positions because of 2 corners in a row bad maneuvre from fred. we feel this driving is not suitable for ws driver with so many bad driving so other driver is hurt. we feel this maneuvre from fred is very bad, and we make protest on fred for this, making bad sitaution for kanitz.

Review: Gosling in in slipstream on the inside and approaches turn 1 from a bad angle, consequently running a bit wide and making contact with Kanitz on the outside line. This was a driving mistake rather than any purposeful blocking move from Gosling.

Verdict: 0.5 penalty points to Gosling

#7 Matteo Vecchioni - Jack Keithley - Lap 13 T16

Protest: Vecchioni make late entry for last corner, he is wide..
after exit corner he weave a little to the left. jack keithley hit him, and he spin and the race for vecchioni is bad in effect of this..
If vecchioni dont weave to the left we STILL BELIVE he will get spin by keithley because this reason =
Keithley before the corner is finish make the steeringwheel steer straight allmost!! This will result in him driving to wards the outside and touch Vecchioni ALSO if vecchioni dont weave to the left. So please dont say is fault of vecchioni because weave left, we are very sure the contact would still be there cus of keithley steering work!!
We feel this driving is to much risky of keithley and thats why we make protest..

Review: Keitley keeps steering throughout the T16 in normal fashion, except for a slight correction while hitting the curb. Vecchioni exits the corner slowly due to not hitting the apex right and hence Keithley catches him quickly. There is still more than enough room for two cars to exit alongside, but Vecchioni makes an unnecessary move to keep steering towards the inside. This results in damage for Keithley and wing loss for Vecchioni.

Verdict: 1.0 penalty points to Vecchioni. Similar incidents will be penalized heavier in the future.

#8 Eduard Mallorqui - Eros Masciulli - Lap 15 T1

Protest: Eduard try make overtake on Eros
he make very narrow entry to corner and have very earlie apex. he come with to much speed and go wide, chrash into eros so eros allmost spins off the track. he win the position with this very bad overtake, and continue without give back position. this is very bad driving which we dont like, so we make protest on the bad overtake from eduard

Review: Mallorqui and Masciulli enter turn 1 alongside and make contact in mid corner, resulting in spin for Masciulli. This was largely a racing incident, but Mallorqui could have kept to the inside corner a bit better, as he runs just slightly wide.

Verdict: 0.5 penalty points to Mallorqui

#9 Stephane Rouault - Matteo Vecchioni - Lap 30 T14

Protest: Roult pass vecchioni on the big straight, in the braking he brake very earlie and vecchioni get in front again, but then roult make mistake and chrash/lock wheel and slide into vecchioni and put vecchioni off the track.
Not a good move, so we make protest on this driving of roult

Review: Rouault and Vecchioni enter the braking zone of T14 alongside. Rouault clearly misses his braking point and runs wide, leaving no room for Vecchioni to exit the corner without contact.

Verdict: 1.0 penalty points to Rouault
