Jarno Trulli will no longer serve his ten place grid penalty in Miami, as the stewards have already deemed the Italian driver to have served his penalty.

Formula E released a press release after the race, indicating that Trulli will receive a ten place grid penalty for Miami. However, this statement has now been retracted, as Formula E have agreed that was a mistake on their behalf.

After Trulli’s crash in qualifying in Buenos Aires ,the team had to change his gearbox. This would automatically come with a ten place grid penalty. However, as Trulli started from the back of the grid in Argentina and therefore, in effect he had served his penalty. This is because he could not go back any grid positions anyway

Team Principal Lucio Cavuto, said, “We were in for a real surprise after the race when we saw the Formula E press release stating that Jarno would be penalised in Miami for gearbox change, as this isn’t in line with the rules of the Championship. Upon asking the FIA to clarify the statement, it became clear that it had been an interpretation mistake on Formula E’s side as we took the penalty in Buenos Aires. I would like to thank the FIA for their immediate response and bringing clarity on the matter.”
