Alex Dunne drops to fifth in Formula 2 Drivers' Championship
ALEX DUNNE HAS dropped to fifth in the standings for the Formula 2 Drivers' Championship after finishing ninth in the feature race in Budapest.
The Offaly man was fourth in the standings last week having initially climbed to the top of the leaderboard after winning the feature race in Belgium. However, he was later hit with a 10-second penalty for 'failing to engage the start set-up procedure at the start of the Formation Lap'.

Dunne dropped to 10th after the penalty, with Red Bull junior driver Arvid Lindblad winning the race. Yet Linblad was later disqualified for a technical infringement, moving Dunne up to ninth. The 19-year-old Dunne slipped to fourth in the Drivers' Championship standings as a result.
