COLCIAGO IS PUNISHED, THE TEAM APPEAL
SEAT Sport Italia driver Roberto Colciago had his qualifying
times disallowed by the Stewards after today's session. The
Italian, who had set the 11th fastest lap in the session -
and the fastest of the Independents - was judged responsible
for not respecting yellow flag, causing an avoidable collision
with Félix Porteiro during his last qualifying lap
and shoving the Spanish driver after the accident.
On top of this, Colciago has been fined a total of euro 3,500
and will be dropped ten positions on the starting grids for
both the races of the next event.
The team have lodged an appeal, therefore the decision remains
suspended and Colciago will start from 11th position on the
grid for tomorrow's Race 1.
