Mehdi Bennani and Thed Björk given post-race penalties

Mehdi Bennani and Thed Björk have been handed post-race penalties after the World Touring Car Championship races at Monza, with Bennani getting a grid penalty and Björk a one-second penalty in the Opening Race.

Bennani was deemed to be at fault for the race-ending clash with Norbert Michelisz in the Opening Race, with the Stewards giving the Moroccan a five-place grid penalty for the next event in Hungary.

Polestar’s Björk originally finished the Opening Race in fourth, but the Swede has been given a one-second penalty post-race for having caused contact with Campos Racing’s Esteban Guerrieri at Turn 11.

The penalty means that Björk loses two points in the championship battle, dropping him to 15 points behind leader Tiago Monteiro.
