Racing incident

L2 Hairpin Keithley vs. Maulana
Keithley is quite slow on the apex, and gets hit by Maulana. Maulana was hard on the brakes all the way, and the contact was slight, but with bad consequences for Keithley who drops back to the end of the field.

5 point penalty - Maulana

Last Lap T6 Hasse vs. Bánki
Hasse covers the left side hard against Bánki, so Bánki switches back over to the right. Hasse then also moves slightly to the right in the braking zone and crosses Bánki's line. Bánki turns in when the contact happens, and as a result, Hasse gets sent wide. Pretty aggressive from both drivers, so we judge it as a

L11 T10 Bivacqua vs. Jarschel
After Jarschel makes contact with Bivacqua in turn 10, Bivacqua hits Jarschel off the track on purpose in the next corner.
