Norbert Michelisz has been deemed to be at fault for the crash with Yvan Muller in the opening FIA World Touring Car Cup (WTCR) race at Zandvoort and has been handed a ten-place grid penalty for race two.
Muller and Michelisz controversially came together at Turn 3 of the race, with Muller ending up atop the crash barriers as both drivers retired.
The duo reported to the stewards after the race, and the stewards sided with Muller, handing Michelisz a ten-place drop for Monday’s second race.

The stewards also investigated the incident between Fabrizio Giovanardi and Zsolt Szabó, in which the Alfa Romeo driver ended up in the wall at Turn 3, but decided that no further action was necessary.
