Dusan Borkovic issued a statement in which he apologises for the off-track incident with title rival Mikel Azcona’s camp after the second race at Monza, Italy. The Serbian refuses to talk any further about what happened, and apologises to everyone involved.

“I don’t want to enter into any further discussion about what happened in the paddock in Monza after the races or what you read in the press,” read the statement. “I am against physical violence and I’m always for non-physical solution to the problem if possible. My reaction that you saw in the video is clearly too much, and I want to apologise for that.”

“I want to extend my deepest apologies to competitors, all the teams, organisation, FIA and especially to all the fans. I live, love and respect auto sport too much to let this leave a bad mark on me or anybody above mentioned. I will be sure to fix that image from my end. Thank you all for your support and understanding.”

Borkovic has been excluded from the Monza event, which cost him the ten points he had earned in the first race and leaves him 30 behind championship leader Azcona. The Serbian potential faces more consequences for the incident, as the matter was referred to the Portuguese ASN.
