The MP Motorsport Brazilian went over the track in turn 3 at Paul Ricard and lost two grid positions for Saturday's sprint race
Felipe Drugovich had his lap deleted in Friday's qualifying session and will start sixth in the sprint race at Paul Ricard.
The Brazilian had set a time of 1min44s032 on his last attempt during the practice session, but went over the track limits in turn 3 during the fast lap.
The race officials analyzed Drugo's lap and decided for a punishment. As a result, he set the second best time of the day, 1min44s241, promoting Virtuosi's Jack Doohan and ART's Théo Pourchaire to fourth and fifth, respectively.
The sprint race in France will have Logan Sargeant in pole-position. The Brazilian MP Motorsport driver leads the F2 season with 154 points, 39 more than the American Carlin driver, who has a chance to get back to the top of the table if he has a great weekend.
GRANDE PRÊMIO follows LIVE and INREAL TIME all the activities of the Formula 1 French GP weekend. On Saturday, the F2 sprint race is scheduled for 1 pm (GMT-3).
