SILVERSTONE, U.K. -- American driver Santino Ferrucci, a development driver affiliated with the Haas Formula One team, has been banned for the next four races of the championship's main support series.
Ferrucci, who made his IndyCar debut earlier this year, made contact with Trident teammate Arjun Maini -- who is also a Haas junior -- on the cool-down lap of the race. It was later deemed he had done this deliberately.
The Connecticut native declined to attend the stewards hearing, where testimony from the team stated it had been a premeditated incident. Ferrucci has been suspended from the next two F2 rounds -- both of which feature two races -- and has been given a fine of 60,000 Euros.
