”I deeply regret that the many fans at the venue were deprived of a consistent, flowing race as no less than four safety car phases interrupted the main race for a long period of time," Weber said, "Outright scandalous, however, is the fact that there were extreme differences in the penalties imposed for the very serious incidents that occurred.
"Our car, for example, was turned around on lap four of the main race. Another driver was unable to avoid our car, hit us, and that was the end of our race. Before that, we had been disqualified from the sprint race. We have no knowledge of the driver who ended our race having received any significant penalty, and there are further examples.
"On lap 39, a young driver, after making a mistake in a blind area, performed an extremely risky manoeuvre, which provoked an accident. This ruined the race of the Brit Oliver Jarvis. Prior to this incident, we had been accused of having caused an ‘avoidable' accident. So what about this crash, hadn't this one been avoidable as well?"
As well as being unable to score points in the feature race, however, Weber was angered by the decision to throw Ammermuller out of the results of the sprint, but allow local driver Adrian Zaugg to keep his position having caused the accident that triggered a red flag to end the longer race.
"On lap 42, Jeroen Bleekemolen was turned around again, but his opponent in the accident was not disqualified," Weber pointed out, "Instead, the race was stopped and the previous lap classified.
"Originally, this was done in the sprint race as well – the old
status quo in the points standings was restored again, and nobody suffered any disadvantage. But then we were disqualified and the old
status quo was no longer valid. In the main race, the order in the standings before the accident was restored when the race was stopped. However, there were no penalties imposed against anyone who had caused an accident.
