The Federation is assessing a 25-minute plus one-lap format on the original grid for the abandoned race.

  • The Panel of Stewards officially suspended and then abandoned the race under the circuit’s noise curfew after the red flag.
  • All drivers involved were confirmed safe following immediate medical checks and a coordinated on-track response.
  • Stewards imposed grid penalties on Kornelia Olkucka (three-place), Arthur Lorimier (six-place) and Javier Herrera (eight-place) for their roles in the incident.
