Incidents:

#1

Driver(s) Involved: Nilsson, Room, Disley, Parisis, etc.

Lap/Replay Time: Lap 1 / 4:13

Protest Description: Nilsson tries an over-optimistic overtake move through the inside of Room on Lap 1 T2. He brakes very late being unable to do the corner and going out of the track pushing Room to also leave the track. Then Nilsson made a bad move/decision when outside the track originating that him and Room collide and enter the track destroying the races of Disley and Parisis that had nowhere to go to avoid them, besides afecting other drivers that passed by.

Review: Nilsson, Room and Disley are heading for Les Combes, Room & Disley are side by side with Nilsson following closely. Nilsson attempts to overtake both on the inside but brakes too late, running wide on to the grass. There is slight contact between Nilsson and Room before Nilsson reaches the grass, causing Nilsson to slide and for him to have an awkward angle for his track re-entry. Nilsson first makes contact with Room and they both then go across the racing line and make heavy contact with Disley and Parisis.

Verdict: 1.0 Penalty Points for Fredrik Nilsson, should've used more caution on lap 1, especially on a track like this.

#2

Drivers Involved: Mikkonen, Vandoorne

Lap/Replay Time: 30:37

Protest Description: Vandoorne attempts an overoptimistic maneuver into bus stop, brakes way too late, locks his front tires and hits side of Mikkonen's car. Mikkonen spins and loses 4 positions and valuable time, which cost him a fight for P2.

Review: Vandoorne is approaching the Bus Stop quite far away from Mikkonen. Vandoorne brakes much too late, sliding in to the side of Mikkonen, causing Mikkonen to spin and lose multiple positions.

Verdict: 1.0 Penalty Points for Stoffel Vandoorne.

#3

Driver(s) Involved: Morand, De Matos etc.

LaP 21 - the current laps laptime 1.36 ( area before, and busstop chicane )

After being overtaken on the way into bus-stop chicane, Dimitri De Matos tried outbrake Morgan Morand on the inside again, which result in locked wheels, and touching Morgan into the chicane entry's right corner. After this contact, and on the entry to the left corner going out of bus-stop chicane, de matos cuts directly into morgan who´s car get hit and fly up into the air and gets damaged, and cause of this vandoorne coming from behind cant really avoid to hit Morgan. A Chain reaction caused by de matos' action, causes damage to morgans car, which result in the start of the end for him.

Review: Morand and De Matos are heading in to the Bus Stop side by side, Morand turns in a bit too early, not leaving enough room for De Matos who is still alongside him. This causes the contact, costing Morand the position to De Matos. In the last part of the Bus Stop the two make contact again, mostly because Morand is recovering from the previous contact with an uncomfortable entry line to the corner.

Verdict: Racing Incident.

#4

Driver(s) Involved: Morand, Rouault.

Lap 23 - the current laps laptime 1.26 ( straight before busstop )

Morgan was in Rouault's slipstrean and was closing in very fast. Rouault see's this and moves to defend.
Morgan then goes to the outside, and with the topspeed he got, it was clearly possible to attempt a pass. Rouault then, knowing morgan is there, decides to close the door on Morgan on the outside, turns out and into him, leaving Morgan no room and slams him off the track ending in damage for Morgan's car which gave a very bad/slow car.
This was an extremly dangerous maneuvre that ended a great run for Morgan and the option to get points on the long term.

Review: Rouault and Morand are heading for Blanchimont, Morand on the outside of Rouault. As they are near the entry, Rouault moves towards the outside, making contact with Morand which causes Morand's car to hit the grass and spin in to the barrier. Morand receives damage and loses positions.

Verdict: 1.0 Penalty Points for Stephane Rouault.

#5

Driver(s) Involved: Jaakko Mikkonen, Dimitri De Matos

Lap/Replay Time: Lap 44 / Last chicane

Protest Description: Jaakko is on Dimitri's slipstream and he tried to pass him on the last chicane, braking really late. At the end of the braking zone there is a slight contact with Dimitri, causing him going a bit wide and loosing his chances to defend his 4th position.

Review: Mikkonen and De Matos are heading for the Bus Stop. Mikkonen brakes late to get alongside De Matos, De Matos brakes late as well, causing him to run wide in the first part of the chicane. Mikkonen goes on the outside of De Matos in to the final part of the chicane, only leaving room on the barely driveable inside curb.

Verdict: Racing Incident.
