A British racing driver has been banned from motorsport for two years after deliberately crashing into a rival during the third MSA Formula race at Silverstone in September.

Dan Ticktum dropped to the back of the pack on the opening lap after contact with Ricky Collard. The 16-year-old then passed 10 cars under the Safety Car to catch up and crash into Collard.

He was excluded from the meeting and handed six more penalty points, boosting his tally to 12, which resulted in a three-month ban. This has been absorbed into the new ban given to him after a meeting of the Motor Sports Council National Court.
