Norisring Euro F3: Marciello reinstated to win after penalty reprieve
Raffaele Marciello has been reinstated to his win in this morning's Formula 3 European Championship opener at the Norisring as one of seven drivers who had their time penalties rescinded
Team representatives were able to convince officials that the yellow flags were not flying when their drivers improved their sector times, after Tatiana Calderon had pulled off-track with a damaged car.
Marciello's fellow Prema Powerteam runner Alex Lynn has also been reinstated to second place, although he will drop to third if second-on-the-road Felix Rosenqvist's appeal against a fuel issue is rescinded.
Lucas Auer, who followed Lynn home, did not have his penalty reversed as he improved his sector time one lap earlier, while yellow flags were still out.
This means that, for now, Felix Serralles - whose penalty was also rescinded - moves up to third in his Fortec Motorsport machine.
Prema team manager Rene Rosin said: "For a certain amount of time before the safety car came out, there were no yellow flags.
"There was about one minute 10 seconds or something where they were withdrawn. That's when 'Lello' and Alex improved."
