Ava Dobson penalised after Miami Free Practice 2

Following the conclusion of Free Practice 2 in Miami, Ava Dobson has been handed a grid penalty for both F1 ACADEMY races in Round 3.

The Wild Card driver was found to have caused a collision with Lia Block approaching Turn 1. The Stewards determined that whilst Dobson closely followed the Williams driver in line into the braking zone, the #90 Morgan Stanley car locked their brakes and made nose-to-tail contact with Block, spinning both cars off.

The Stewards deemed her wholly responsible for the collision and have assigned her a three-place grid penalty, which applies to both races.
