Overview
- Stewards issued a €5,000 fine to Dani Juncadella for making a middle-finger gesture toward Augusto Farfus, with €4,000 suspended under conduct rules.
- With no further infractions recorded, Juncadella ultimately faces a €1,000 payment as the suspended portion remained inactive.
- The gesture occurred exiting Turn 11 during a late battle for sixth that included earlier contact at Turn 10.
- Juncadella said he was frustrated by what he called moving under braking and admitted he was “ready with the finger,” referencing the season’s earlier “Milner salute.”
- Farfus called the gesture embarrassing and unacceptable for a professional driver, as their cars finished sixth (TF Sport Corvette) and seventh (Team WRT BMW) respectively.
