HUNGARY - An altercation between Ryan Griffin and Justin Lewis, which saw Lewis get intentionally wrecked by Griffin and then returning the favor, made it hard on the officials last night at the Hungaroring. Griffin was credited with last place having only completed 4 of the 20 scheduled laps. After the race, which was won by Ben Atkins, Formula 5 competition director "Pickles" suspended Griffin for 2 races for intentionally wrecking, and suspended Lewis 1 race for poor conduct. The ramifications of this are pretty significant at the bottom of the points standings, as Tom Delgado will surpass Griffin for least points scored in at least 13 races as long as Delgado attempts and does not score points. This is Griffin's first F5 last place finish of the season, and the first for Mopar Magic Racing on the season.
