We learned it at the same time as the person himself: Johann Zarco, who was in fourth position in the combined standings at the end of FP2, saw his best lap canceled.
Discovering this official notification live during his videoconference debriefing, the French driver sought to understand the reason before our eyes, first evoking the possibility of having achieved his best time under the yellow flag. Then he informed us of the only element in his possession, the fact that the incriminated action took place in the second sector.
Johann zarco : « I just saw it, and I don't know why. I'll go ask. I may have improved under yellow flag, because at the connection you have the right to go on the vibrators. So I'll have to ask. They apparently say it would be in the second sector. I'll look. »
So, Johann zarco now appears in 10th position in the combined rankings.
We will publish his full debriefing as soon as possible this afternoon.
