As a result, the Stewards made the decision to remove the lap times from the qualifying and hyperpole sessions as well as to disqualify vehicle 50.” With a top performance of 2 minutes and 26 seconds, Fuoco led the closest competitor, Campbell, by 0.507 seconds. The 2m02.462s Fuoco had set in the first qualifying session, which determined the top 10 that advanced to Hyperpole, was somewhat slower than that effort.
The Ferrari statement claimed that the vehicle “was found to be around 1 kg under the minimum weight mandated by regulations” and ascribed the difference to the installation of a replacement rear end component following damage sustained in an FP3 collision with another vehicle. James Calado, his teammate in the #51 entry, acknowledged that he “screwed up” after losing to Lynn by 0.021 seconds. With the #50 machine Fuoco shares with Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen scheduled to start 19th, he is suddenly up to 10th on the grid.
