Pantano disqualified and excluded from Race 2

Pantano disqualified and excluded from Race 2

07 September 2008

Giorgio Pantano was excluded from the Spa-Francorchamps event after the stewards have considered that he caused a collision with Lucas di Grassi on the last lap through "reckless driving and unsportsmanlike behaviour" which ended the Campos man's participation in the race. In addition, in a separate incident, it was shown that Pantano overtook whilst the safety car was deployed. As a consequence, it has been decided that the Racing Engineering driver was excluded from this Event, including classification in Race 1.

Andreas Zuber was disqualified after Race 1 when unauthorised repairs to his Piquet Sports car were noted. Third place thus goes to his teammate Pastor Maldonado, and Jérôme d'Ambrosio will start from the reversed-grid pole position in tomorrow's sprint race while Zuber will start last.
