Only then could he defend his position against boots, rolling just behind. But the Nordic were too hooked on the last straight, before crossing the finish line to take the final lap of the race, and it was there that Oviedo took action that the managers considered a penalty.

The Asturian driver made some changes in direction, and in particular, the managers decided to punish him for his last move because they considered he forced the attacker to take a evade action, that is, he had to brake when he saw Fernando might be blocking. his way before arriving at the last chicane.
