Liam Lawson has been disqualified from the second Monaco Formula 2 sprint race for a technical non-conformity, handing Dan Ticktum his first victory of the season.
The stewards noted: “Car 07 [Lawson’s Hitech] was found to have used a throttle map, not in compliance with Technical Regulations.”
In F2, the drivers are required to use a defined throttle pedal progressivity map programmed in position one of the steering wheel throttle map rotary knob during all formation lap starts and all race starts until the car reaches 50kph
Following an investigation after the race, Lawson was found guilty of using a different throttle map at the start of the race, which contradicts the Technical Regulations - Article 3.6.5.
Liam Lawson kept the pressure on Championship leader Guanyu Zhou with a second win of the season in Sprint Race 2 at Monte Carlo, the Hitech Grand Prix racer recovered from a tricky start to win out over Carlin’s Dan Ticktum and PREMA Racing’s Oscar Piastri.
Jumped by Piastri off the line, Lawson marshalled the wet conditions expertly, reclaiming the lead five laps in and controlling the rest of the race.
Piastri dropped down to third behind Ticktum, with the two-time Macau Grand Prix winner utilizing his street-race experience to pick off the PREMA and hunt down the Hitech. But Lawson refused to surrender, keeping the Briton at bay during a tumultuous middle part of the race, before going on to finish 8s ahead.
