Saudi Arabia Formula 2 sprint race winner Richard Verschoor and his Trident team-mate Roman Stanek have both been disqualified for a technical breach, gifting the victory to Dennis Hauger.
A championship statement said both Trident drivers 'were found to have had an incorrect throttle pedal progressivity map installed prior to the race which was not in compliance with Article 8.2.6 of the Technical Regulations'. After passing reversed-grid polesitter Paul Aron, Verschoor survived a safety car restart to beat a fast-closing Hauger and secure his fourth victory in F2 by 0.700s after 20 laps of the Jeddah Corniche circuit, while Stanek was classified tenth.
Speaking after the race, the third for the new-for-2024 breed of Dallara that debuted in Bahrain, Dutchman Verschoor said: 'From the first lap I had very good pace, I felt strong at the beginning of the race but also after all the restarts we did. 'To be fair, I really have to give credit to the team for giving me a good car today.
