Antonio Giovinazzi drops to the back of the grid for Race 2

Audi Sport’s rookie Antonio Giovinazzi will start this afternoon’s Race 2 at the Moscow Raceway from the back of the grid, after receiving a penalty.

The 21-year old is making his DTM debut this weekend, standing in for Timo Scheider, excluded because of the events in Spielberg. He was 19th in yesterday’s race, and qualified in 16th position on the grid today.

However, Team Phoenix had to change the engine in his RS 5 DTM last night, which automatically receives a drop to the back of the grid for the next race.

Race 2 is scheduled for 15:10 CEST (GMT + 2).
