DAN DENIED VICTORY IN MONZA BY FUEL TANK FAILURE

After taking a dominant on-track victory, Dan Ticktum’s car was disqualified from the Monza F2 Sprint Race for not providing a post-race fuel sample due to a leak in the spec fuel tank.

Dan Ticktum: “The first five laps of the Sprint Race were very tense, because as soon as you break the DRS your chances of winning go up quite a lot. I was pretty much flat out early on and I was a bit worried about the tyre degradation for the end of the race, but after a few laps I was edging away and could relax. Of course I’m absolutely gutted by the disqualification. I know the team did nothing wrong and it was a problem out of their control. We executed a fantastic race today and I crossed the line first, so in my mind we’ve won.”
