Heavy punishment for infringement of articles 1.21.2 and 1.21.6 of the regulation, therefore, for an accident that could have had serious consequences. In fact, in the impact Arbolino’s left ankle was bent, while the race commissioner was thrown away.

It seems that for the driver from Garbagnate Milanese, who was even second in pre-qualifying, fortunately there is only a severe bruise on his left leg.
