Jérôme d’Ambrosio will receive a grid penalty for the Paris ePrix

After a qualifying hiccup the Belgian driver will be dropping two grid positions for the Paris ePrix.

During qualifying for the Formula E Rome ePrix this past weekend, Jérôme d’Ambrosio completed another lap after the chequered flag had been waved for the session. While this may not seem like a big infraction it can be quite dangerous if a driver is going above safety car speeds.

This specific offence breaches article 31.5 of the 2017/18 Formula E Sporting Regulations. It states that no driver may pass the chequered flag of a session more than once. Punishment will be a two place grid penalty for the next race he drives in along with a fine and one penalty point. There will be no appeal available.
